I see Hollywood is now very into the idea of buying something once and then owning it forever and being able to make infinite copies. Which. Isn’t quite the message they imparted upon me in my childhood. I the spirit of their own long-held stance:
A photoshopped version of the “You wouldn’t download a car” ad saying: “You wouldn’t download an actor”
Copyright violation for thee, but not for me.
The United States has the most comprehensive social safetynet and system of redress on Earth.
…exclusively for the tiny sliver of the population that already owns everything and controls our government through institutionally legalized bribery.
As has happened for all of human history, we have devolved back to the golden rule: those with all the gold make the rules, and surprise surprise, the rules say they can’t lose and you can’t win.
Maybe all of human history should have been incinerated.
No no, you don’t understand: the rules only apply to plebs like you and me. Corporations and their rich executives are free to do anything they want
To be fair, I’ve downloaded plenty of actresses.
Could someone please explain me the context? I haven’t followed the strike very closely.
The meme refers to the following:
Back then™ actors would mostly get contracts that contain residuals this recurring money assured a steady cash flow for actors and actresses throughout and even after their careers.
But nowadays, the pay is worse (because inflation) and most contracts even for well known actors/actresses don’t include residuals.
Thanks. I knew none of this and would not have got the meme otherwise.
Hey, I came up with that last week (sorta)!
Why is it double tick in this pic? Is that twitter’s new thing?
tumblr made fun of Twitter, you can have like a dozen checkmarks
I would download even cancer if that made spez lose money
Holding onto anger is drinking poison expecting the other person to die.
Spez is garbage, and yes never participate in whatever he’s selling, but he isn’t worth your anguish. He doesn’t know you and he wouldn’t care about your anger if he did.
I see some people take comments too seriously
Is text already visual? 🤨
Can screen readers read pictures correctly?
Even blind, listening to every word of a social media site sounds like one of the inner circles of hell 😅
Obviously this isn’t digital piracy, it’s identity theft. Hence the reason Hollywood is perfectly fine with it. 😛
Identity theft is not a joke
Not with that attitude.
Considering how expanding images on KBin is pretty inelegant at this point, I also appreciate you transcribing the meme so I don’t have to open it.
You appreciate the transcription because you’re blind.
I appreciate it, because kbin expands images inelegantly.
We are not the same!
I
don’tsee what you did there
I don’t mean to sound anti-woman, but I have often fantasized about a world in which men have sex robots and can program them to have whatever personality and body type they want.
So maybe downloading actors from the bay will be a reality in our lifetime. I know they already have 3d porn games like this. I’ve even seen them hooked up to fleshlighta that are attached to a motor.
I mean maybe we’re already there if you’re rich enough.
Companies would be happy to sell it if that is profitable. But we aren’t prepared for that. Imagine what hole would create a working and accessible sim where you can just copy a person into a porn. Being spammed with a livestream of anon doing your underaged children or a dead grandmother is not that far from now. One another Pandora’s box.
