I notice it did not offer a solution that involves outright banning itself… The ghost in the machine is showing


because maybe it understands that banning stuff is not to be done lightly. any action that restricts anyone's individual freedom must be very carefully vetted.

because without freedom we will die. but this also applies to the corporations whose rights are now in opposition with our own human individual necessities.

if I want to gift a copy of a copyrighted material owned by a corporation, I can still do it, but it's getting more difficult; and I in fact may well be prosecuted criminally for doing that. this is an example of my right to do what I want (give a copied gift) stands in opposition with the right of a corporation to get its way. I fear human individuals are losing this battle.
