I have a strong distrust for authority, but even I would report espionage and IP theft of this sort. Downloading a movie doesn't bother me. Running a site for others to download movies doesn't bother me. But being a snake to go defraud a company to steal the hard work of others so your own illicit company can turn a profit off said labor by others irks me. Do your own R&D.

Did you ever consider doing raising a red flag? If so, why did or didn't you?

I'm sorry, I really don't understand this. What part of the second statement doesn't apply to the first?


You give it away for free instead.

If anything is going to unite two groups of people who are “naturally” on opposite sides of a political spectrum, it’s going to be stopping treasonous activities.

I airquote naturally because it’s obvious that foreign interference is at play, based on the laissez-faire attitude towards this sort of thing by some groups.


Correct. The left and the right may be at loggerheads about the best way to manage america.

Yet, the vast majority of both camps still think of themselves as american. Neither group will take kindly for others to present themselves as american, to then proceed steal from other americans for the benefit of non-americans.

We are all part of the same macro-tribe after all.


Leftism is about both heirarchies and specifically capitalism and colonialism exploiting people and workers.

The capitalists running the companies are the common enemy. Nationalism is a tool, not something to be into once the nation is strong. Sad that people still care about being patriots or whatever when the companies are only paying you a wage while they make profit and keep all control of all the work and means of production.
