Who is "you guys"? A lot of blanket generalizations being thrown around here.

I genuinely don't know who original commenter meant by "we". It's certainly not "everyone", and it's not the legislators, or the big tech companies, or most people with IP to protect. So who is "we"?

And I don't know who "you guys" is in your comment is either. What am I a part of? This grouping "us vs them" thing going on is so damn odd to me, genuinely.

I stated what is, in my view, just a fact to challenge a strange assertion made by someone on the internet and at no point did it get pushed back on, instead the focus was completely shifted to a completely assumed stance I have and personal attacks. How can anyone have conversations this way? It's insane.

My stance on piracy is complicated. I used to do it a ton, I do it a lot less now but still do some. I won't go into more detail than that because my personal opinion on piracy was never the point here and not why I commented.
