    Welp, you’re free to keep giving your hard-earned money to Disney’s shareholders to compensate them for the hard work of owning property and pay for the privilege of watching ads.

    Personally I don’t think I will.

      You can assume I give Disney money. You’d be wrong though.

      So you’re against any and all ownership of intellectual property?

      Do you also agree with the writers/actors strike by any chance? Because those 2 things don’t go together.

      • So you’re against any and all ownership of intellectual property?

        Only in cases where it benefits the working class and hurts the capitalist class. Laws aren’t a moral good, just a means to wield state power. Although under capitalism they’re written for the bourgeoisie, sometimes we can use their tools against them.

        Do you also agree with the writers/actors strike by any chance? Because those 2 things don’t go together.

        They do though. Every dollar I give to the studios is another dollar they can use to break the strike or build infrastructure to otherwise lower wages and raise profits.

          Lol so basically you have no rhyme or reason for how IP laws should work other than “if they’re better off than me they shouldn’t have any ownership”. Yeh nah, this is pointless.
