    Please explain to me how a lack of ownership over things that you buy is a stale topic?

    Has this been solved in a meaningful way? Is the problem getting better?

      No, but repeating the same phrase in memes all over Lemmy for 862nd time doesn’t make anything to solve the problem, it just irritates many.

      Absolute majority of Lemmyverse is already in favor of piracy, it’s a circlejerk, move on.

        I’m gonna be completely honest here; I made the meme to see how much attention such a simple (and probably idea-stolen) post could get. I’m not disappointed.

        Don’t get me wrong, it’s still a very important topic, but I’m too lazy to defend my statement in the comments.

      How is it not stale? The inaccurate and dishonest framing of a situation from this meme isn’t going to convince anyone of anything.

      Nobody gets charged with theft for downloading movies and music. They get hit with copyright infringement. Doesn’t matter if you buy physical media that you owned or digital media that you licensed, either way you never purchased the copyright.
