EDIT: Replaced cool flag with a phtoto from an old article. It’s getting difficult to find useful images that I am 100% sure aren’t AI gen.

    Yeah, easier said than done. The pirating sites are on a whack a mole model, throw up clones in poor countries, they get shut down start a new one.

    Now search engines won’t link to them, so unless we get a search engine that is not giving the government a reach around, we won’t be able to even find those links anymore.

      I still don’t understand why countries that are being bullied by the US, and having their trade deals unilaterally ripped up, still insist on respecting US copyrights and listening to takedown demands from US companies.

      Just start treating it like the US treats pot in most places, decriminalize it, stop enforcing the law.

        Weapons, that is why. We got the good shit. And even what we don’t sell to them, we can sponsor other assholes to supplant their current leaders.

        That is not the only factor, but it’s a very big one.
