    RE: Amazon, which started off selling books, is destroying rare texts to train AI - TechCrunch

    If it were a library doing this, I'd think it was for the greater good. The physical copies cannot last forever. The only problem I see with this is that it's Amazon doing it, which no doubt means if they make it accessible, it'll only be behind online DRM. That's what makes it a preservation problem, not the involvement of AI or the destruction of physical property.

                                                                                        You've been in the industry long enough you should know better than this. Atari and Amiga were killed by their owners and the Microsoft+IBM monopoly. Not game piracy. Amiga Inc was not even a games company. Their leading product was hardware. Nobody wanted to own an Amiga computer because the IBM PC had caught up, was already in offices, had way more effective marketing, and the main audience interested in a multimedia computer already had their eyes on Nintendo and Sega. Commodore spent years flailing about, half-developing and throwing away different architectures, and not knowing who to sell Amiga hardware to. This is all VERY well documented.

                                                                                        DOOM's trial was under a shareware license. You got free marketing by being the most copied PC game in existence and benefitted greatly from it. 90% of people illegally copying the full version doesn't change that if you're outdoing Windows in install frequency.

                                                                                        Lastly, this additude is exactly why piracy exists. You need to directly and openly address the needs of people copying or they will not respect your boundaries. Games were always expensive, especially back then, and the internet changed the way distribution worked. People who illegally copy media today are also the biggest spenders. Let me tell you about myself. When I was a kid I didn't have money. I pirated shit all the time because it was the only way I was allowed to participate. Six years ago I pirated Cyberpunk 2077 because I did not want to pay full price for a game that was infamous for not working. I bought it months later because I liked it. I pirated dozens of movies because all of the easily accessible distribution methods are protected by Widevine malware, and the alternative is to spend way too much on a Bluray for my disc collection that I also don't own, and then decrypt it using a pirate program, which is illegal. If they didn't make being a customer so difficult, I wouldn't have done any of that. The story is the same for nearly everyone else you're pointing the finger at. To blame piracy is to completely ignore the factors which encouraged it, which can be tamed by the company who released the software if they have any theory of mind.

                                                                                        If you look up my Steam account today, I've spent thousands of dollars over the past decade on video games alone, and that's only on one store. Pirates are more than happy to pay for things that they want. If your game is being pirated, then that is something you are doing wrong.

If publishers knew (or at least acknowledged) that piracy doesn't kill sales, they would've still supported that hardware. The real problem was that if your console can easily run pirated software, then it can also easily run homebrew and publishers wouldn't have to pay licensing fees to publish their games on your system, and licensing fees are how console manufacturers make money as they sell their systems at a loss. Homebrew is the biggest threat to any console manufacturer (not including "open-source consoles like the Ouya or OpenPandora), not piracy.

                                                                                        >90% of people illegally copying the full version doesn't change that if you're outdoing Windows in install frequency.

                                                                                          Interestingly, the only consoles that Commodore Amiga released, the CDTV and CD32, tried this. It was really half assed though. They had an official licensing system, but anyone with the Amiga developer CD got the CDTV NDK included and could play burned CDs with it. They were just recycled A500 and A1200 computers with a new case and the floppy drive removed. The only thing stopping unlicensed releases was the rights to distribute a copy of the CDTV trademarks, similar to what Game Boy was doing... Which didn't do shit, because threat of litigation only really works on distributors trying to make a notable profit, not an average joe with a good job and a nice CD burner. I imagine it wasn't very well thought out because Commodore's main business model was to cut hardware costs, not sell at a loss and live off of software licensing.

                                                                                          I don't know much about Atari, I think they tried to improve security after the 2600 but that doesn't exactly work if nobody's buying your machines to begin with.

                                                                                          Either way, Sandy doesn't give very good examples.

                                                                                            >I don't know much about Atari, I think they tried to improve security after the 2600 but that doesn't exactly work if nobody's buying your machines to begin with.

                                                                                            Atari just never recovered from the video game crash. The 7800 was soft-launched shortly before the NES, but could not compete with it after the NES came to market (games were the exact same ones from the 2600 era, but with better graphics). The Lynx was way too expensive, bulky and ate up batteries. And the Jaguar was a nightmare to program for and whatever advantages it had compared to it's 32-bit or even 16-bit competition was never really shown off during it's lifetime. Piracy didn't kill any of those consoles, but the Atari 2600 was declared an open platform by the courts and that did contribute to their downfall.

                                                                                            Even to this day, they have no idea what they are doing. They thought they could've learned from the mistakes the Ouya made with the VCS, but they didn't realize that PC gaming has become much more accessible over the years (especially when it comes to plugging a PC into the TV) that there really isn't any demand for an "open console" anymore.

I think console gamers don't really think these things through. Esp since all the consoles are getting another price increase now. Which will be followed by another price increase next year.

Eversince I started mirroring the XLibre repos my server has been getting DDoSed fucking constantly by Facebook. We lost Checkpoint when we migrated this year so it got really bad.
