I watched it, thought "this feels very last generation", and then saw it came out 13 years ago!

Sidestepping the meaning of the word "theft", our situation is as follows. There are 3 ways to finance intellectual work:

    1. $
    2. ads
    3. nothing (and rely on gift-style work)

I have a really, really strong opinion that one of these is terrible. So I think we should do whatever we can to encourage the others, especially the one that lets people pay for food.

EDIT: I should note that I don't think the anti-copyright movement was bad during its time. They were definitely on the right side of things like Authors Guild v. Google. But I think the internet economy has gotten more mature and we now need more nuance than they provided.

I’m not sure whether to call what we have now “nuanced” or whether it isn’t a result of that movement having mostly lost the fight some decade plus, though. Tried using a public library recently?
