The counter-argument here is Popcorn Time (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popcorn_Time) which brings together search and bittorrent with a nice UI and makes piracy a bit too easy.
Or Firesheep (https://codebutler.com/2010/10/24/firesheep/) which made impersonating someone’s facebook account a breeze by sniffing their credentials which were sent in clear text (eg. on cafe wifi) and showing them in a UI and made stealing credentials a bit too easy, leading to wide calls for broad adoption of https everywhere.
Or Dropbox, which the nerds derided as pointless “because I can build my own”.
It’s fuzzy and individual, but there’s a qualitative difference - a tipping point - where making things too easy can be irresponsible. Your tipping point just happens to be higher than the average.
Murder has a fixed cost of human lives, which is considered (by the living) to be reprehensible at every scale.
Piracy has a negligible cost on the industry, and contributes to a positive upward pressure on IP holders to compete with low-cost access. These two crimes are not the same.
Oh, so you believe in mob rule then OK I got it. And no because there are uncensored LLM’s like menstral so it’s a you need to worry about yourself problem. Stop trying to parent me who the hell are you?
“but a large enough majority of other people feel differently.
In other words, it’s a you problem.”
Ignoring the enormous strawman, you just made, how do you know what the majority opinion is on this topic?. you don’t. You’re just arrogant because what you actually did is conducted a strap hole in your own mind of people in your echo chamber and said yeah the majority of people think my opinion is right.
that that’s called mob rule.
Next time I’ll speak slower so you can keep up that’s why it seems scattered you’re having trouble connecting the dots.
“The only thing worse than an idiot is an arrogant idiot.” you’re the dumb one here you just are too dumb to know it.
