Everyone is saying Piracy but I say Public LIbraries, which often have CDs/DVDs/BDs/games now (depending on your locale). They're taxpayer funded, so you might as well get your money's worth, and they keep track of how often stuff gets borrowed which determines future financial support.

(And if you are tech-savvy enough to be on Lemmy, you probably know how to make a ... permanent copy ... for yourself to keep)

Libraries are great. Just think about it, if libraries as a concept hasn't already exist, there is absolutely zero chance it will be invented in our time due to our overly restricting copyright law.

And also due to a rightward shift in the Overton window. A place where people just get to borrow books for free? That's socialism. And it will completely kill the entire books industry

By god what will they burn then?

[-] Miqo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Nikes and Bud Light.

Which is exactly why big corporations are lobbying hard to get public library stripped of funds by any means necessary. I mean you can even 3D print spare parts in many libraries for free by now! The super rich cannot have that.

Or save the time and gas money and download it.

I mean shit, I don't even have a DVD burner in any of my computers. Haven't for a decade and a half. You expect me to grab my external drive to burn a copy? I can download anything on my gigabit connection in 5 minutes.

Why would you need gas money to go to a library?

[-] Polar@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

To drive there? How would you expect I get to my library 35km away?

You live in the Sahara or something?

No, I live in the second biggest country in the world.
