“We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem. If a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24 x 7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the US release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate’s service is more valuable.”

if buying isn't owning piracy isn't stealing

Well, it's not wrong to say that about the basic concept of copyright. The original purpose of copyright was to allow authors to feel free to publish stuff more widely without fear of it being "stolen." Without copyright there'd be a lot more proprietary information being squirrelled away in private archives.

But of course, that concept has been completely hijacked over the years. The duration no longer makes sense for that original purpose.

Ahhh, that’s amazing. An absolute man of culture I say. Wonder what other mods this person has. Personally I perfer the Chun-Li without leggings mods, a bit of “tasteful” nudity. 😁

Yes- if anyone interacts with those posts after the community has been federated then the entire post gets sent over. eg: someone "likes" a comment or posts a new comment.

Correct. Someone on that instance, or who is federated with the content on that instance, can do it. If you use a lemmy.world account and upvote all the posts they should federate to your instance.
