Damn, they do be trying to catch that VTuber hype train. I do wonder if they already have their own video games.

Rhythm games and VNs do not surprise me. But an RPG sounds somewhat interesting. Especially due to them being idol singers. I can't even imagine it, what is it? A Pokemon clone perhaps?If there's an RPG with Vocaloids also I will be mindblown.

For people of my scale…It’s not like the people of your scale aren’t dependent on the people of the bigger scale. Because those are the ones who control the market. Anti-piracy measures are an endless cat-and-mouse game and the very fact that your book was pirated 50k times shows that the law cannot really be enforced unless we turn our world into an Orwellian surveillance state, the only reason anyone’s book is selling is despite the anti-piracy laws, not because of them. And not like smaller capitalists are protected anyway, you cannot affort going to court. The bigger capitalists can. And the bigger capitalists are more likely to sue the smaller capitalists into oblivion, as a smaller fish you have no power. It’s the bigger capitalists who pay for DRM protection. It’s the bigger capitalists who sue people. Small capitalists are always the mere collateral damage, they are disposable, noone cares to protect them. Your other option is joining the libre culture community and leveraging its power of collaboration to resist the pressure of the bigger capitalists. It’s a dog-eats-dog world, it is naive to think that just because there’s some law in place you are entirely safe.

Well, I'm aware that Freedoms 1-3 are respected. But I do think that the software respects Freedom 0 only after it was modified to do so. If we remove spyware features from a software, does that make the previous version of that software not spyware? No, the previous version of that software was spyware. But the new version is not. The point that I'm trying to make is that Open Source can be non-libre. But oftentimes it's very easy to fix this, to the point that it's not much of an issue. If, say, the default behavior of open-source software is loading proprietary modules, you can just… make it not do it.

No, it's just my own view on despotism and sabotage. I'm a philosophical anarchist after all, you know how I tend to look at those sorts of things. Despotism, authority, hierarchy are not something I am fond of much.

@stever One of many reasons why people don’t pirate is because of convenience, for example. The pirate sites often require you some knowledge on how do download torrents and are often infested with trojans. One of the many reasons of pirating something is:In protest.They’re poor/children (in which case they either pirate your book or don’t read it at all).They hate copyright as a concept (ideologically motivated piracy).They consider the product to be overpriced.They just want to show it to their friends without forcing them to give them their money like a robber.

The best way to detect whether an online encyclopedia is good is to check how an article about GNU+Linux is called.

Malicious features are anti-features but not something that restricts one's freedom. What I'm talking about is software working only with DRM enabled (l).
