Do you not understand that content creators who "get forked"might not be able to afford to pay medical bills?

Or are you saying that "fellow Americans" and "content creators" are mutually exclusive?

Exactly who or what do you think a "content creator" is?
Ok, so funding wars around the globe is ok, but general health insurance is not? Pumping billions and billions of $$$ for wars is fine, but American citizens not having health insurance is not? All I am saying here is there are much bigger issues than media corps getting forked.

I really don't know where you're going with this.

I live in a country with a relatively good public heath service. If America does not, then voters should have a hard look at their voting preferences and at the performance of their politicians.

If you don't pay people for their work, they are 1) less likely to be able to afford private health care, 2) they are earning less money, so are paying less tax to the state, so the state has less money to spend on subsidized health care.

And who are you saying is funding wars around the globe?

And why is funding wars around the globe connected to people not paying for the content they consume?

That’s called the fallacy of relative privation. Basically saying something else terrible is happening in the world so this other thing isn’t important. The problem is that argument could be used to justify anything.
 
first time i wish eu step up. sorry but i cant pay countless services 30 usd per month to watch each good movies / tv shows from different one.
 
You literally made a claim that's unfounded. You did the exact thing you're accusing me of doing.

This is incredible. 🤣🤣🤣

Not going to continue this so have a great day.
Did you really miss the obvious sarcasm in their post?

I mean they didn't add a "/s," but I thought it was very obviously making fun of people who post random made-up "99% vs 1%" statements to bolster their side of an argument.
 
Notice the update:

Apple said in a statement that the app was removed to comply with government sanctions. "Notarization for this app was removed in order to comply with government sanctions-related rules in various jurisdictions. We have communicated this to the developer.

Something specific to the app, not torrenting apps in general. (Also something the developer almost certainly knew about before making this into a story).

Yeah, I suspect they are deliberately setting their apps up to get blocked by Apple in order to drive home the narrative that Apple is still being a big bully.

Doesn’t exactly help their case. Cry wolf too many times and eventually, people will stop believing.

So? Then do without instead of just stealing things you don’t want to pay for. Weird that you celebrate being a thief as if it’s some kind of accomplishment. It’s not.
