They could just provide cheap high quality streaming services to end piracy, but instead they want to provide garbage multi-tier advertising enabled massively fractured streaming service and force people to subscribe by playing a lamesauce game of pirate whack-a-mole.

How does it feel to put you life into the hands of a dysfunctional black box?

Which lawyers? Clearly Chevron’s lawyers were able to absolve all their liability so they definitely won.

Furthermore, Chevron extracted close to 30 billion dollars of petroleum and left an environmental disaster behind. Chevron even counter sued and was awarded an addition 3 billion in damages that was reduced to 220 million for Ecuador daring to try and hold a US corporation responsible.

Not only did Chevron prevail they continued the harassment of Steven keeping him under confinement for years and preventing him from practicing law.

I think you are missing hundreds of years of progressive corporate lawyering to entrench their business model(s) into our society.

Take the US for example. Originally corporations had to be for the public good, were time limited, and the owners were held directly financially accountable for their decisions.

It took hundreds of years of court cases and lobbying to get to the point where we are now and it is absolutely insane. There is a reason the corporation has become the dominant form of our culture.

Most patents for the medical sector are built off public research. Companies make minor changes to the formula to extend patents sometimes what seems indefinitely.

Reverse engineering a physical device at this point is trivial. There is no need. The reality is these are legal tools that slow down or limit innovation so the “inventer” can collect monopoly rent.

Software patents are absolute insanity often describing concepts from several decades ago like they are novel.

The entire patent system is absolute garbage rife with patent trolls gobbling up any small business that dares to exist.

There are so many examples such as the developer of X-plane that spent 1.5 million dollars and three years fighting a single frivolous lawsuit over a software patent.

The average patent lawsuit, if it goes federal is around $1.5 million and can go as high as $5 millions Patents are a game normal people get eaten up by.

From an ethical standpoint companies exploiting patent laws to overcharge is disgusting and the practice is rampant

There really isn’t anything positive for the typical person. In fact, quite the opposite. Patents are legal tools corporations use to extract monopoly rent. The rest is just propaganda.

That literally has nothing to do with patents nowadays. No one is hiding anything anymore, it is about artificial scarcity to collect monopoly rents.

The fact that you deny that we have already lost billions of lives because of corporations trying to extract monopoly rents is your perogative. It is stupid and ignorant, but your choice.

This is how it was before patent law. The sciences, arts, and commerce existed for thousands of years without these corporate laws. It is about creating artificial scarcity, which is an incredibly dumb concept in our modern world.

You need to eliminate the thought of the big guy stealing ideas from the little guy. This is propaganda used to play on our emotions. Intelectual Property benefits an extreme minority at the cost of billions of lives.

Advertisers can’t figure out who you are and service providers don’t know if you are from where you say you are. This and age verification are about making money and commerce.

They are just doing the bidding of advertisers. This is all about verifying there is an actual human so advertisers will continue paying companies like Google.

Meanwhile people are debating about child safety. Propaganda successful!

The US is the most murderous country to other countries in history. North Korea is trying to be the most murderous to its own citizens but it’s got a lot of work to do to catch up to Russia and China.

With an average annual percentage rate of 390% - 900% !

Next time thank the grammar Nazi!

Lots of money to be made from the inevitable security holes made by vibe coders. Sounds lucrative!

CEO suggests raising employee costs by fifty percent and is immediately fired.

Sorry, we don’t live in a sane world anymore.

Microsoft, Google, Meta, and Amazon are already doing what IBM did and a whole lot worse.

One step closer to machines feeding us like in Wall E.

Why does it look exactly like my signature!?

Chances of you experiencing the apocalypse - Zero

Chances you will get trapped in an Cybercuck and be unable to get out - Not zero

These idiots want to replace technical workers when AI is more attuned to replacing a CEO at this point. We don’t need Sam anymore.

I hear you do what you can, it is too late already but your effort is appreciated.
