This is the original video:

I don't understand why people illegally steal and reupload videos elsewhere on the internet. Just post the original video...
You can't just do that! If someone here is dedicated enough, then this will get you in big trouble!
I agree, it's super scummy. If you think somebody's video is important enough that it should be shared and spread, then just post the original video.
Also, a surefire way to ensure that PeerTube doesn't succeed is by associating it as a viable freebooting platform. No content creator will want to put their material on such a platform. It hurts both the video creator and PeerTube. It also puts the Lemm.ee admins at risk for facilitating this thread, if the video creator were litigiously-minded.
Hello @sunaurus@lemm.ee, what is your stance on this?
Hey! I'm not really sure about this at the moment. I can tell you that if the authors (or any legal entity) would contact me about this and ask for links to be removed, then I would comply, rather than try to fight it.
I say pirate everything
I say pirate from companies. I don't like stealing from people
I say pirate everything. I don’t like denying from society.
You'll lose your job in such a society. Anarchy isn't fun, believe me.
When does people become company? I hear that argument a lot from people that pirate movies. But they always forget that there are thousands of people working directly or indirectly on a single movie.
Piracy won't change the content for the better. First, it'll make content worse (which is already happening) and people get payed less before companies change their service. Piracy won't help. Period.
Find a better way to pay for movies directly and selectively, like phyiscal media. Don't subscribe to ever worsening streaming services. Go to the cinema. That is how movies will get back to what they were in the past because that is what people did in the past.
Same goes for every other medium. Piracy always sucks and all arguments you're giving is just a justification.
You just copy data, you know. They still have the thing
Besides YouTube is google, should have picked better platform
It’s in the name you know, COPYright. And who I am to refuse if someone would want to copy my copy
What you're saying is illogical. You can copy everything. Almost everything. You can copy software secrets, machine secrets, copy research and development. But where are we going to go if everyone started doing that? Anarchy? You'll probably lose your job in such a world. I don't know what you're working but there is a high probability you would be affected. There is no moral ground for piracy. Piracy and theft has never produced anything good. It will only make things worse, believe me.
This is an idealized world you imagine. It doesn't exist and will never exist. Most non-profits are underfunded these days. Nobody wants to pay for stuff voluntarily if they don't need to. In a world you idealize, any capitalist asshole will always win. So why would everyone else grant them that and offer stuff for donations while they won't? It won't work, it has never worked.
Besides, I doubt that companies make suffiecient money from you. You probably spend way less with your method. You're just trying to justify it by saying you only support the good. But what you actually do is make it more expensive for me who fairly and legally obtains the media. I'm paying for your piracy.
Time is money and money is time. That directly implies that IP has a price. We can't have anything good anymore because people like you don't understand that.
There will always be parasitic people on this world and they think they're in the right too. Can't do anything about it. Do what you want. But know that you have no right to complain about terrible services or terrible movies if you do so.
God I hate self righteous types who probably know work rules and safety by heart and snitch on everyone. Just relax a bit sometimes. Do something fun. Break some shit.
If we all played by the rulebook imagine how fucking lame and boring it would be
Mr/Mrs monk rules and regulations protector of intellectual property. You are no fun at all
This has nothing to do about me or my morals. It's about where I see the industry now and where I want to see it in the future. It's just a fact that piracy won't do anything if not worse. You can only change something for the better if money flows (in the right direction). Stealing will just cause companies to double down. Basic economy.
Hack the planet!
3 reasons I uploaded the video to PeerTube:
I’ve changed the URL to YouTube now though.
