that’s what makes them the professional, and you the client

well, no, there’s no amount of money the riaa/mpaa could pay them, which would justify the amounts lost to terminating services for everyone that’s pirating, lol, they’d go out of business

step 1: first we hack the app

I don’t know about that but I sure do love your Israeli flag, man. Am YIsrael Chai!

Clap clap clap. Great explanation

Before the internet you would have to go to a library to read a book you didn’t want to purchase. Libraries are still a thing. You can still go there to borrow a book, read it, and return it, so that others can read it.

The only difference here is the magnitude of access, where publishers weren’t very concerned with at the local library level for token public good, but are very much now alarmed with, in that the internet can distribute content to everyone all the time, content they were very much hoping to continue to monetize.

It’s information gatekeeping, but no one is going to tell the publishing industry they might as well fold up shop and stop publishing because they can’t make any money at it any longer.

mastodon : when you block another account they cease to exist and can no longer interact with your account at all ever

lemmy: when you block another account, the only thing that happens is you can no longer see or interact with that accounts past or future activity, though they can still see, vote, and comment under yours which, just like reddit, is ripe for abuse and doxxing

there can be no discussion of tolerance or free speech when there can be no way to block other abusive accounts from your content or you from harrasment

If you have many choices for your Internet Service Providers where you are, go ahead, and if they terminate your service, sign up for another one, if there isn’t, a VPN is absolutely necessary if only to protect your access.

“angry ISP letters” followed by termination of service and inability to get new service from that ISP for that physical address no matter who attempts to sign up for new service under a different name. if your address is only serviced by one local ISP, and there’s no good alternative, then you’re fucking hosed. every other concern is a distant second to that.

If you’re “self hosting VPN” then both your ingress and outgoing VPN servers are showing THEIR I.P. address publicly, which is then tied back to you through DNS/Hosting services, so, Lucy, splain that to me
