@kariboka @db0 @piracy Same here

@amazing_Yasuke @piracy If you look at the piracy@lemmy's profile page do you see anything newer than 2-3 days?

@dragonfly4933 Universities won't run illegal-file sharing systems, because they are illegal. End of story. I'm sure they exist at universities, but not by universities. Whether copyright law should be weaker is irrelevant to the question of whether universities operate illegal-file sharing servers.

@dragonfly4933 It's a source of information that gets the university sued, that's what. Universities don't want to be sued. Therefore they don't put huge libraries of copyrighted material in a place where they can be freely accessed. End of story.

@d4nm3d The original purpose of usenet was to spread news. However, you're asking in a piracy lemmy. In the context of piracy, usenet is a system where you straightforwardly pay someone to download illegal content from them, as opposed to a peer-to-peer system like bittorrent. Obviously, some universities may use usenet to spread news, but they certainly won't use it to spread pirated content.

@pomi @sh3ll @vegivamp it would be very weird if a university would offer free copies of pirated content to its students

@Nougat @Cube6392 @alyaza that wouldn't achieve the goal of locking up as many untermenschen as possible. Remember the time a black person asked the government if she could vote and they said yes, then she got a long prison sentence for illegally voting?

@Spiracle @LookstotheMoon what about possibilities you can run yourself?

@CookieJarObserver @jordank1977 sadly the modern economy is based around (among other things) confusing people as much as possible so your value is extracted by them instead of someone else

@BananaTrifleViolin @crunchpaste @Wander you could have a community populated by only the top posts and comments from reddit after some delay

@ReCursing @db0 i'm just gonna assume Virile Fusion is an image AI trained on porn.

DeepCreamPy still holds the record for best name, though.
