Frog who downloads media himself and hosts it on his own server: you guys are in water?
And when that frog realizes that all the other frogs in the water have been caught and eaten already, where do you think the predators are going to turn to next?
If someone could explain to me why that comment is getting downvotes?
It’s absurd. You’ve strained the metaphor by pushing it too far and it makes no sense.
The boiling frog analogy has nothing to do with predators. Predators do not put live frogs in pots of slowly heating water.
How exactly do you think ads are going to be forced on people who pirate their media?
Telling people “stop giving money to trashy companies” is looking out for them. When companies get too greedy and start being shitty towards paying customers, the reaction absolutely should be “we’re going to pirate it instead” so that these practices actively hurt profits.

The point I was trying to make is that at some point it’ll be impossible or nearly impossible to do piracy, that you have to do more than just look out for yourself, you have to vote people into office that’ll pass fair laws for consumers.
I’m not passing judgment on piracy, just that someday there will be a point where DRM will be too much, so you need to fight by other ways than just piracy, like getting the right laws passed.

You’re right! People should stand against this NOW by not paying for these shitty services!
Wait a minute…
59… 58… 57 …
(Piracy means you are not giving these shitty services your money. Actively not supporting them.)

The point I’m making is that just looking out for yourself is never enough, sooner or later its your turn.
