In the last 40 years, the world's most effective anticapitalist organization has been The Pirate Bay. What must now amount to tens of billions of dollars of stolen media has filtered through this nexus to the proletarians, from an openly renegade, international operation always one step ahead of the legal reach of Capital.

While other so-called revolutionary organizations have been staffed by bisexual teens ineffectually griping at things, the torrenters of the world have granted us all with joyous mana from heaven, ad-free, no-cost books, movies, television, videogames, plays, and software, by the trillions of kilobytes, accessible 24 hours a day, by way of community action and selfless reciprocity. They easily defeat the fumbling attempts by corporate power to stop them, and today capital has gotten so desperate that the leaders are today being illegally seized and renditioned, held without charges from guerrilla raids around the world.

Consider how much retail value in stolen merchandise you have gotten from these heroes, how much broader is your horizon of media. Consider the anguished howls and incoherent cracker doublespeak of the aggrieved conglomerates. Destroy advertising and you shake capitalism to its foundations. I am gay.

anticapitalism is about short-circuiting value flows not simply siphoning from them

because if everyone thought they were entitled to anything any time they wanted then society would not function

this is why all societies have had taboos and laws against theft

i remember that thread. some dude busted in with the supposition that men should masturbate "by friction alone", but later replaced by slashie & co. with the more reasonable position that it's rape to think of human bodies whilst jerkin it

its good for artists to make at least enough money to continue making art without having to take on a soul-draining office job or whatever to pay the bills and then being too tired to do it anymore
