I think OP doesn’t even know what their point is.

They keep saying people will continue to perform sex work if there’s no economic gain, but at that point it’s not work. Then the counter argument to that is “there’s many different kinds of sex work”, but the point still stands that having sex voluntarily, being an exhibitionist, or having a hobby of filming sexual encounters are all things that people do for personal gratification and are not considered a career now, or in this hypothetical post-scarcity civilisation.

Like someone else said, it sounds like they are just fantasising about sex slaves. To me it also sounds like OP is overcompensating on the whole “I respect sex workers” virtue signalling.

I think it’s from Futurama

I mean, that was Driver on psx, which was a good game. It’s the MMO bit I can’t imagine

Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy were miles better. It’s hard to say what they did so right compared to Force Unleashed but it’s a shame these ones sucked.

You know there are some naturally carbonated springs. The Earth is not flat after all.

Holy cow. It’s like someone thought “the human race isn’t using enough single use plastic, how can we pump up those numbers? Maybe we can tie it in to the basic consumption of tap water.”

“many moons ago, when the sun was low in the sky…”

You are thinking about IP with tunnel vision. You just want to gain entertainment for free. There’s more than that to IP laws. How would you like it if you made art that was then used in a manner that you philosophically disagree with. For example, Meghan Trainor had a song that was used against her will in a political campaign against same sex marriage, she was able to cease and desist this use because of IP laws.

I think there’s room for improvement on copyright laws, but that’s a far cry from the outrageous claim that intellectual property isn’t a real thing.

In most if the modern world, copyright laws give automatic ownership of unique works of art. Legally IP is a real thing.

So if an artist creates a piece of intellectual property, do you not think they should have control over how it’s used? Including who can make profit off of it?

Sorry, I’m not going to read all that, but it seems like you’re upset about the shitty deals made by record labels and other large corporations, not intellectual property rights.

If you take away the ability to own and control your intellectual property, then you won’t be empowered.

Licensing art allows creators to earn a living off of their hard work.

If you save the cheerleader then the creepy serial killer will join the team.

I don’t think YouTube really compares to Netflix

I reckon it’s more like the iPod touch. It’s applying a new idea in an area that is a mismatch for it’s potential. Eventually the best use for the emerging tech will become apparent and the current form will fall away

Hey, you’re just salty that you didn’t get in on the ground floor when Stargate was being exclusively streamed in a dedicated Stargate streaming service

If you get rid of licensing you get rid of the content

Nah, my company doesn’t allow torrenting movies so a corporate VPN is useless
