And anyone left will be living a live probably not worth living.

That’s not how this works at all.

There are plenty of ways to deal with this, and issue a death penalty to the corporation while not punishing the workers:

  • Forced turnover of executives and board members (with jail time and high % fines), corporate watchdog for x amount of years

  • Dissolve the mega-corp into smaller corporations, and/or force all subsidiaries into a planned disengagement from parent company

  • Bail-out in the form of state ownership by government buying majority stake

In any of the above, or even in a complete mega-corp dissolution the demand doesn’t disappear. If you want to have the argument that these “oh so wonderful stewards of business” are the reason people have jobs in the first place, you can’t ignore that demand is the reason those very same executives have jobs too.

If they tear it down, someone will build something else to replace it.

When the fuck are they going to stop treating these companies and executives with kid gloves?

Why do they do these things, shred evidence, lie on the stand, and break almost every white collar law there is? Because there are little to no consequences. And if there are it’s for people in the “out” group. New money.

Crack down on all of them. Shredding evidence should be an admission of guilt. Full stop.

There’s no soulseek integration yet, but that would be a game changer, the collections in there are incredible, especially when trying to find EPs, singles and rarities. We’ve been waiting for a good long while though.

In the meantime, it’s a lot of work to build a collection, even with lidarr, torrents, semi-private, private trackers and usenet.

For soulseek, I’d recommend setting a blackhole torrent client that points to the soulseek download folder, them always make sure you download the folder not the files from the share. That will make importing the files a lot easier into lidarr if you choose to keep that as your centralized download tool.

There are also extended scripts for lidarr that will pull music from various sources as well.

As Ricky Gervais said, (paraphrasing) do Abrahamic religions believe in any of the hundreds of gods before their one god? Well I don’t believe in just one more.

If not, we can expect to see legal channels raising their prices again to cover the losses caused by piracy.

And with the last paragraph the whole article loses its legitimacy as propaganda. I mean I should have expected as much considering the source, but I still wanted to see how well researched it was.

No, this is a case where people are rebelling against a broken system, that didn’t need to be broken in it’s mostly recovered state.

No, the general paying public shouldn’t shame pirates for their actions, they should shame the companies for their actions that have driven them to this. Companies aren’t your friends, they don’t care about you, they just want your money.

Universal elected to drop “Freddy’s” on its platform Peacock on the same day as its theatrical debut.

  • GOJIRA
  • Architects
  • Periphery
  • Daughters
  • Every Time I Die
  • Monuments
  • Feed Her to the Sharks

Has always worked better than creatine or any pre-workout for me.

Oh the guy who took advantage of people in his country to undercut people of other countries while pocketing the difference?

Oh yea. Bet that guy worked his fucking ass off and isn’t a complete scumbag.
