I wish the UK pirate party weren't the "Everything I want should be free" type of hippies. So many of their not-freeloader policies are so good, but I can't in good conscience waste a vote supporting them because their hardline "It should be legal to steal TV shows" standpoint means they'll never gain any real traction.

@ceruleanspark Yes. Ditto every sentiment here for the Australian Pirate Party.

@fluttershycanhardlyfly It's the same with our Green Party. A lot of their policies are great, except for the whole "We should give up all forms of technology and go back to living in trees" tack they insist on taking to preserving the environment. As far as they're concerned, the only way to protect the environment is to reverse progress, and that's just assinine.

@fluttershycanhardlyfly @ceruleanspark I disagree, the war on sharing must end.

@jla I think copyright desperately needs reform, but I don't think "I should be able to take whatever I want without compensating artists" is the answer.
-
@ceruleanspark The purpose of copyright is to encourage writing and art, which is desirable, but stopping people from sharing is unjustified and too much. And companies remarks of "piracy" and "theft" is propaganda.

@jla putting aside both sides rhetoric, I feel like "enjoying the work of an artist without compensating them" is unfair to artists.
