No, I think the book pirating thing is different than an individual pirating. It's like comparing genocide to murder. A few murders, not great. A few genocides? Really not cool.

This book thing at Meta is something we should never forget. It revealed how utterly broken the US is in this regard, hope they get it sorted. Without the rule of law you'll get a shit country.



Prosecutorial discretion isn’t counter to the rule of law. The state gets to selectively apply criminal penalties.

This has always been the case.

By your definition, the US has never really had the rule of law.


It helps having China as a bogeyman, if WE don’t pirate then China will win the AI race, and we will all be slaves… if you have principles you are a communist…
