Research Study on Digital Piracy

[centaur2469]

I live in a Capatalist Country, America. There is Intellectial or Proprietary rights to consider. People wish to get paid for their work which I can agree on. On some points going to a movie theater that wants to charge 15 dollars per person to watch a movie is somewhat greedy to say the least. With capitalism this goes along with spending another 5 dollars for popcorn or a drink. I'm surprised they don't charge for bathroom visits. So there's many reasons some people would rather download than go to a movie theater. I for one would rather watch from the comfort of my own home and that option (which I would actually pay for)
should be available to us but is not. I'd have to travel over 50 miles just to watch a movie being that is the closest one I could do so at. Either that or wait a year for it to be released on DVD. I have difficulties with the piracy laws for many reasons. One is if the distributors of video material would offer people other ways to watch a movie besides the only ways they do, maybe this wouldn't be such an issue as it is. I think if the movie studio already made a Billion dollars from a movie then they shouldn't squabble over a few people that downloaded their movies. Two is that they should be aware that once a video is realeased to the public it is going to find its way to the internet. There is the Freedom of Information Act to consider. Should we be punised for accessing video information that is in a sense free to us to access. Pirate Bay has had difficulties with copyright infringement laws since it began and will continue to do so as long as Movie Studios think they have some right to publically distrubuted materials.

Simple rule:
Dont put anything online that you don't want the world to see.

Trying to control an infinitely reproducible resource is an exercise in futility.

Interesting, specially in times of pandemia and economic shrink (ripples from 2008?)
Would not prove when applied to human resources. We are the most profitable and stupid reproducible asset.

And also most easily replaced.

AI is even replacing humans in art and the media. Max Headroom has been updated.

So what precisely happens when you have 6 billion humans, and 1 million actual job positions (even doctors can be replaced).

Skynet, wuflu-ebola hybrid, soylent green for the Malthusians.
Or
A socialized infrastructure in a post cash society run by Fabian Socialists(korporates) maintaining artifical scarcity or real Democrat Socialists (communalists) where production is dominated by public utility rather than financials.

Unfortunately, there is no decent framework (weltanschauung) for the latter. MMT is a start.

The Black Swan moment has started with the plague.
But... how do you collapse a system that can print money to infinity without hyperinflation? (The money is never seen by the public!)

Pretty much. I think the Business model refers to us as a commodity. People are the "workforce" that builds infrastructure and generates revenue for the elite. With the invention of robotics we are now rendered useless and fully replacable.
