This disclosure has been rushed for the views and hype IMO, none of the big distros had fixes ready to go on this this morning.

I disagree that is legally no different, if you used a "grey" market seller to obtain access in a way gog deemed illegitimate then you never had license to use it. If you had a legitimate licence then using it after say gog terminated you account, you would still have legitimate license to use the copies you already downloaded despite gog not providing their services to you.

How is the license revocable without DRM? They have no mechanism to revoke it other than stopping you downloading it from them again.

Blueray bitrate is lower than even 1gbps so even full remux is downloadable at a speed you could begin to watch it the same day while later episodes continue to download. You wouldn't need the full series downloaded up front.

Yeah I'm sure that will keep it offline.

Piracy is a correcting action on a massive market distortion. It's a state enforced monopoly on any given idea. You know what other ideology liked state enforced monopolies? Communism.

Fertility rates have been falling across the world since the baby boom that followed WW2 in line with greater female education and labour market participation. Also people from poorer and less educated background in wealthy countries are the people who have the highest fertility rates.

I believe you are miss reading the correlation, having more children isn't making people poorer, it's part of a more complicated cycle of poverty that involves lower levels of education and attainment which leads to poorer income and poorer fertility planning. The strongest correlation is with female education levels.

The original code for that was leaked, most if not all replacement servers run that code, not reverse engineered code.

I wish I saw this kind of insightful point of view more often in the discourse over social media. It's stopped being about being social once algorithmic content curation became the norm to drive engagement and advertising money which is the real evil.

At some point the argumemt that it's to "protect the children" rather than to control and monitor what adults do will fall flat when more and more difficult to use work arounds keep getting banned that realistically only adults would employ.

Sadly being smarter doesn't stop you being ignorant.
