copyright is a type of intellectual property, an area of law distinct from that which covers robbery or theft, offenses related only to tangible property.

Every AAA game company's have been for 30 years and still currently are arguing this in courts all the time.

Are you sure about that? Because it isn't theft, it's copyright infringement.

their other line 'piracy is theft'.

Have they ever said that?

Don't use services that track all your activity down. It should be pretty obvious as to why.

This doesn't really apply here.

It's 1:4 but everytime the card is played a new set of 1:4 starts

Of course it does, or the odds wouldn't be 1 in 4...

If you flip a coin, you "start" a new set of 1 in 2 odds too -- that's what makes it always 50/50

That's nice. Just exposing your dishonesty. Move along.

I'll say this.

When I weigh the choice of handing over my personal videos to a company that is explicitly and actively going to use them to:

• train and improve their massive corporate AI tools
• develop their targeted ad platform (which is their real product)
• build a comprehensive profile about me and my family

Or

Putting a NAS at a friends house, or paying a couple bucks a month for some block storage.

I end up preferring the second set of options. It's fine if you don't, but don't pretend you have no idea that your personal videos and information are valuable to Google.

Preventing corporate entities from presenting falsehoods as facts is not a meaningful infringement on free speech.

If it is, then it's clear that truly free, totally unrestricted in any way speech isn't a good idea.

Sounds more like we need to more heavily regulate sources of misinformation, rather than deeming some people too stupid to participate in the system.

Because I'd probably get caught.

I feel like it's a very Fox News-y suggestion to ban select groups of people from voting.

Because, frankly, I don't think you're being honest.
