EDIT: Replaced cool flag with a phtoto from an old article. It’s getting difficult to find useful images that I am 100% sure aren’t AI gen.
Oyy lad, its time for more sailing and shanties.
When the US was a new country, one of the first things it did was stop respecting copyrights on British books.
For a full century between 1790 and 1891 the only copyrights that applied in the US were ones by authors who were residents or citizens of the USA.
I think it makes perfect sense to protest the USA by refusing to honour US copyrights.
Yeah, easier said than done. The pirating sites are on a whack a mole model, throw up clones in poor countries, they get shut down start a new one.
Now search engines won’t link to them, so unless we get a search engine that is not giving the government a reach around, we won’t be able to even find those links anymore.
yandex to the rescue.
I still don’t understand why countries that are being bullied by the US, and having their trade deals unilaterally ripped up, still insist on respecting US copyrights and listening to takedown demands from US companies.
Just start treating it like the US treats pot in most places, decriminalize it, stop enforcing the law.
Weapons, that is why. We got the good shit. And even what we don’t sell to them, we can sponsor other assholes to supplant their current leaders.
That is not the only factor, but it’s a very big one.
Yar har, fiddle dee dee, being a pirate is alright with me!
Do what you want cuz’ a pirate is free, you are a pirate!

What about the Western Sahara flag 🇪🇭
Since Morocco’s government is working with Trump nowadays.
Is that the insurgency? I thought it was like, south and east but not sure.
Morocco promised to hold a referendum on Western Sahara’s independence but then never did also the UN recognized the Polisario Front as the legitimate representatives.
RIP ParaBros… how the fuck did they do a merger and end up with the name of what I thought used to be a third studio… Did one of them scarf that studio up years ago?
So many things encouraging the sailing recently. Marvel just canned Marvel Unlimited to merge it into WEBTOON so they have even more insane power. It’s crazy.
Also, appreciate the non AI flag.
Yeah, that Marvel Webtoon news was a serious downer. Thank goodness for free libraries (both brick & mortar and digital).
