My headcanon is that it’s a passive form of protection: when copyright owners look to communities like piracy they are met with highly upvoted silly memes, which would cause them to miss the more helpful pirate advice mixed within.
A screenshot of some comment is not really discussion though. This is a pretty base level understanding of the concept, which is why I say it’s more cope then actual discussion.
This is one of the most popular posts this week here with more than 4 HUNDRED comments. I don’t know what you view as a discussion but I think this was a pretty successful attempt at creating one.
I will say this thread had way more discussion then I was expecting when I originally posted this. My point about the screenshot still stands, I would much prefer we discuss something new related to sharing media, instead of recycling the same discussion about why its justified to copyright infringe.
I completely agree. However posts of a screenshot of some shitty comment very much screams cope. That’s what I say enjoy ya loot, cause the reasons don’t matter.
Loot is just an expression being used to stick with the pirate theme. I don’t get why you are reading so far into it. We call it piracy, when we are not pirates in the traditional sense, same for the word loot.
Now I’m legitimately curious, what do you propose we call it? I do think piracy is misleading but I’ve always rolled with it since thats what people know it as.

Can we not become subreddit by posting this shitty screenshots trying to justify our reasons? Just share your media and enjoy it.
I was gonna say the same thing but then I saw the 2200-something upvotes.
This community is doomed to be exactly like the low effort meme sub r/piracy if people keep upvoting this lazy content.

what do you mean trying to justify? discussion of shitty anti consumer tactics in digital media is perfectly valid

But it’s not loot. By leaning in the piracy angle you are just eating corporate propaganda.
You are not hurting anybody so there’s nothing to justify. Sharing is caring.

Loot is stolen goods. Why are you calling it loot?
Nobody steals stuff here.

its a stupid expression that is convincing people that they are criminal somehow.
sharing is not a crime, by using these corporate terms you are doing a disservice to the movement.
So why do we call ourselves pirates? Why do we call it piracy?
I’m all for fuck corpos and freedom of sharing but it’s just lingo, you are reading way to fucking far into it.
we shouldnt, its literally not piracy and it confuses young people approaching it.
