If they have an issue with copyright infringement, they should discuss with OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, Anthropic and more.
(paraphrased) “The user of the illegal service may fund the activities of criminal organisations, says Executive Director Jaana Pihkala from the copyright organisation TTVK.”
as opposed to paying the even more criminal publishers scalping the rights and screwing the creators
It’s interesting how these discussions about “who funds what” always miss the real nuance — not every user is supporting criminal networks just because they watch or download something. There’s a big difference between direct financial support and passive consumption, and lumping both together oversimplifies the issue.
The irony is, this kind of moral panic isn’t new. Whether it’s movies, music, or even sports media rights, the same debate keeps circling back — who really benefits, and who gets exploited? It reminds me of how UFC White House (https://ufcwhitehousecard.com/) discussions have highlighted fairness and transparency in how organizations control content and audience access. At the end of the day, ethical consumption gets complicated when the system itself is built unevenly.
How the shit am I funding criminal activity when I don’t pay them anything?
Depends on the method, but a lot of normies find these pirate websites where you stream directly through a player on their website, and here they can serve ads, i.e. get money. Pirate Bay and the like also serves ads.
strange, I’ve never seen an ad on piratebay or my regular streaming sites.
That subtitle isn’t real
Aw that’s a shame and sorry for messing up, saw it and thought it’d be worth sharing here because it tickled me. What does it actually say?
The translation is accurate. The “boohoo” bit does not appear in the article at all, in English or Finnish.
a piracy and onehundredninetysix crossover? today is a good day.
But what if I just say I’m using all this media to train my AI? Then it’s legal right?
No, no, you’ve misunderstood. The “Finns” mentioned are the descendants of Huckleberry Finn.
It’s actually a real step backwards for them. If they not afraid to violate copyright it’s only a matter of time before they start using the n-word again…
