Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

It gives "QUIT HAVING FUN!!" vibes. :)

Exactly. Support those who create it. Not publishers or ebook lending companies

THOSE MOTHER FUCKERS BOUGHT A RAINBOW!?

I'm impressed.

Note that with rare exceptions, creators are not supported by your purchases. Rather the studios, labels and publishers wh cheat creators are.

If you want to support the creators, pay them directly, or go to one of their performances / signings / functions. But still pirate their work.

you wouldn't download a car

i bet they even sent the policemans helmet to his widow

Not a boat! Not a family vacation! Gasp! An… RV!?!?? SOMEONE THINK OF THE RIGHTSHOLDERS!

That seems nice. Glad they're getting something in return for saving me so much money.

Meanwhile, ai companies that are doing exactly the same are allowed to rack up billions in revenue.

"It's American for profit corporation, not a Russian cybercriminal!"

They should show some pictures of the real leeches.

The FBI is trying to trick me into feeling guilty, too bad I was the firstborn of a single mother and this shit does not work on me anymore

Seems like a fairly reasonable way to live. Is that supposed to look lavish?

Let's see the lifestyles of the CEOs for Springer, Wiley, and Elsevier for comparison.

As if money actually goes to the content creators 😂

Oh no! What will the people with offshore bank accounts do without the collective 10 grand they didn't squeeze? Damn criminals! They're avoiding taxes by laundering money abroad!

Oh no, somebody who might be Russian took a family vacation to go fishing with their loved ones!? What an orgy of indulgence! The audacity!

They... Own a tiny home? Wow. What luxary.

Reminder that sites like israel.tv are still "illegal" to visit and all US ISPs are forced to block it, even though this directly contradicts Net Neutrality.

It's at least reassuring to know that the DoJ values the privacy of these horrible criminals enough to warrant blurring their faces. Hard to believe those assholes were spending the money on beautiful rainbows. A rainbow isn't a tangible possession someone can just keep to themselves! The idea that some guy can just own this abstract thing is deeply offensive to me and I will not be giving any more of my hard-earned money to library genesis.

That boat and RV look middle class at best.

Oh, no! People are enjoying their lives!

Isn’t the FBI supposed to be non-political?

Yet here they are trying to own Z-Libs

No the poor copyright owners I'm so upset

That's horrible! I can't believe how these criminals are wasting the money that should rightfully be getting used for cheese pizza and hot dog parties!

"You can't download a boat"?

I found out about this the other day and the first impression I got was that someone hacked their server and put this just for laughs.

That caravan looks nice

What's the URL?

I’m disappointed I didn’t see a piracy parody of this before seeing this. Come on internet.

Another Russian oligarch's mega yacht seized!

I don't pay for piracy, but if I did I'd be glad I could help.

Since they now own the domain, can we DDOS it to rack up their expenses? Fuck them they don't deserve money.
