Copying-aint-stealing.gmi (668B)
- Copying ain't stealing,
- sure as I'm breathing,
- information wants to be free.
- The mafia wants us to believe
- youtube-dl was made for thieves.
- In fact,
- it was made for human beings.
- We might listen to your pleas,
- once you respect our machines,
- they belong to us - not you.
- DRM? EME?
- Your drivers are mean,
- your blobs illicit,
- the hardware complicit,
- and yet--
- it's never stopped piracy.
- The real caper is your crimes.
- The theft of OUR public domain.
- DMCA abuse, attacks on fair use.
- Net neutrality and regulatory capture.
- Sell it to us fair and square,
- your terms are too much to bear,
- and until you're playing fair,
- fuck off!
- Yo ho, yo ho. A pirate's life for me!
