I knew. Then I forgot. Now I know again.

I think your approach is wrong.

Lemmy has too small a presence to influence the larger populace. You are shouting at a highway from a grass field across town.

People love convenience. So much they built trash chutes in their buildings to throw away their garbage. If someone implemented a system where you could throw out your garbage through the window, it would be an absolute hit.

What you need to do is sell the convenience. Make it cooler, cheaper, easier and/or faster.
People aren't convinced by doing the right thing, that's just masochism.
And they aren't convinced by the "sacrifice now, get paid later" convention... Well, actually they are else scams wouldn't be so successful. Anyway, people are dumb so the key to success is hitting that dumbness the right way to make it resonate in concert.

Build an orchestra of convenience, maestro!

The original sin. Which in most myths is acquiring knowledge or attaining sentience.

It's part of the whole "trials and tribulations" and "works in mysterious ways" arguments.

You did. I misread at the time or not at all.

I guess it might have been a waste of time they'd rather have skipped. Same as this chain of replies might be for you.
Huh.

I think that's up to the courts to decide and perhaps in this case, the company decided a verdict against them would be more damaging than a settlement.

When I was poor, I pirated a lot of games, played them and then spread the word.
I can say and do believe I helped sales and increasing popularity.

It's not just a pat on the back. My recommendations had others play games they'd never even heard of and in turn recommended them to others.

Of course, now that I can afford some games and no longer play them at launch, I just stick to "Grab them on a sale! It's worth it at a smaller price!"

Inside job.

You're telling me nobody owns his shows, the material used to train the LLM, whatever trademark is used to allow redistributing his works etc just because he's dead?

Someone once told me people like having options. Doesn't mean they'll take those options, but having them available means if someone does want to, it will be possible.
Educators in particular should not only provide those options for anyone willing to learn, but also actively promote learning them.

Is it Stop Killing Games, Stop Killing Games or Stop Killing Games?
