The record industry insists that all unauthorized copies represent lost sales. So Peter “brokep” Sunde, co-founder of The Pirate Bay, has built a machine that makes 100 copies per second of Gnarls Barkley’s “Crazy,” storing them in /dev/null (which is to say, deleting them even as they’re created).
The machine, called a “Kopimashin,” is globbed together out of a Raspberry Pi, some hacky python that he doesn’t want to show anyone, and an LCD screen that calculates a running tally of the damages he’s inflicted upon the record industry through its use. The 8,000,000 copies it makes every day costs the record industry $10m/day in losses. At that rate, they’ll be bankrupt in a few weeks at most.
I know I’m That Guy™ , but it is possible to advocate for social reform without sweeping under the rug the very real tragedies and human rights violations that have existed under communist regimes
I get that this doesn’t fit your edgelord communist aesthetic but it costs $0 to reblog this and let your followers know you aren’t advocating to repeat the mistakes of the past
