The theatrics and drama of it is a silly distraction, but the fundamental questions seem worth following and discussing.
I’m not German; what an odd thing to comment.
And also because some subset of those consider piracy a hobby, mission, or right, not only a pragmatic way to get the content they want.
But I guess some people could be interested in the platform responsibility angle.
However, when discussing obviously entirely piracy platforms, isn't the interest and dialogue different, than it is for general-purpose platforms with only a fraction of the user contributions being problematic, and good-faith efforts to mitigate those?
The piracy discussion is also hugely fascinating; I’m sure a good portion of HN remember Napster and friends, and the endless discussions had about that. We don’t seem to talk about it a lot.
