The ability to change features, prices, and availability of things you’ve already paid for is a powerful temptation to corporations.

    No because the entire metaphor is built on the concept of prostitution

      In this analogy you are stealing time and labour, if we’re being weird. Not being weird, thats rape, please get a better comparison, one that isn’t a crime against every living being please. Im not sure how this translates to copyright

      The whole thing is chaotic and weird

      ‘Theft’ of an online thing is, yes, illegal, but if it is for the sake of preservation it is basically objectively morally good. There is a very fine, hard to see, easy to cross line of when piracy is good or bad and no-one actually knows where this line is.

      Your analogy is strange by the way.
