Easy solution. “The Internet Archive” should rebrand itself to “Archiving the Internet” to confuse everyone who talks about how “AI” should be able to steal books.

Agreed about changing the copyright law.
Until that happens though, they must not be allowed to have it both ways - call us “pirates” when we copy their shit without paying for it, and tell us that paying for shit they copy is “impossible”.
Libraries are still a thing. You can still go there to borrow a book, read it, and return it, so that others can read it.
Public libraries are under assault from every direction.

Pretty soon you either won’t find the books, or even the libraries themselves. Piracy is the only way they are leaving to us.
Itanium jokes are never going to be not funny!
Chaotic evil is “makes you create a ticket, doesn’t work on it, and then blames the ticket for the downtime to the CEO.”
Do NOT let them recite their poetry to you!!!
Isn’t this getting blocked in 24H2?
Louis Rossmann’s 20-minute rant on needless cloudification of shit incoming in 3… 2… 1…
Didn’t they block the Shift-F10 workaround in 24H2?
What’s the alternative? Buying Chromebooks and creating a generation of Google drones?
Nothing and I mean nothing will kill this faster than some leaked chats, emails, and browsing history of a few politicians.
Pichai & Co would totally have blocked videos if Hitler demanded it back during WW2. They should embrace their new motto - “Anything for a buck!”
Grow a pair, you spineless shits, and stop kowtowing to brutal dictators!
I also choose this guy’s dead wife.
Glorified autocomplete. That, and Clippy.
I’m not your buddy, guy!
You don’t need AI to figure out why people go to a T-Mobile store.
Option A: your service sucks, and the hold time on the phone is over 2 hours.
Option B: the glass sandwitch that you sold me cracked because I looked at it funny, and the fucking manufacturer won’t honor the warranty because they didn’t get enough of my money.
Porn piracy is absolutely huge. I think you’re just doing a bad job downloading it.
Unless you have a very particular kink or fetish, porn is the one thing that you can find for free all over the internet. You don’t even have to look that hard.
Piracy of movies, TV, music, & books is alive and well with no intention of slowing down. If anything, the advent of streaming helped get media in higher quality sooner than before. It’s even easier if you’re willing to pay a little for a private tracker membership, of a Newsgroups subscription.
Gaming is the most difficult part because cracking copy protections carry a very high risk of infecting your computer with a nasty virus. Even then, if you know where to look, there are trusted groups that value their reputation and pride themselves on releasing clean repacks.
Bottom line is, there’s not going to be a “post-piracy world” OP asks about. The game simply changed to paying for a single all-in-one subscription instead of being nickel-and-dimed to death by corporations. And it’s already here.
“AI is nowhere near to being ready to replace you at your job. It is, however, ready enough to convince your boss that it’s ready to replace you at your job.”
They may not have a siberian orchestra, by they do have a teem chapel.
