re: copyright
Is it bad that I now take umbrage with the idea of big media to begin with? It just seems to revolve around rich people exploiting others' creations just to get richer...

Copyright law is a morass which is ultimately determined, moreso than any other legal battle, by he who has the most money. Case in point: Disney

That seems a reasonable summary.
i think the rise of things like the Internet has greatly reduced whatever benefits they might have had.
i guess somebody more cynical than me might say that was the real reason they were so keen to censor it.
If you don't know what [cool thing] is, don't bother asking, as i will snub your interest with a non-sequitur or in-joke, thereby reinforcing my credentials as an Informed Person while simultaneously throwing your ignorance in your face.
[cool thing] may be difficult to search for, since the word probably meant a regular not-cool-thing before it became [cool thing]. Perseverence will turn up numerous references on blogs and social network sites, none of which explain what it actually means. If you are very lucky you might find a series of contradicting Urban Dictionary definitions, or a sparse Know Your Meme page that only raises further questions.
If you do find an explanation, bad news: this means [cool thing] is no longer [cool thing] and is now merely an old fad or an outdated slang expression. You are no cooler than before, although you at least have the satisfaction of knowing you're cooler than the person who referenced last week's [cool thing].

in this post, a8 does a spot-on impression of a Witch House fan.
I will never understand the obsession famous Mimetic Fiction authors have with professors banging.
well people banging is a pretty universal interest unless you're asexual. And I mean there's no particular reason for those people to not be professors unless they're like old or something.

i think it's more likely that they are simply concerned over content they own being shared without their getting a profit, though. They probably aren't worried about original content so much.

Well, they are, also they do that thing barons do whenever their traditional business model is threatened and try to sink the boat instead of hopping onto it.

And hi Tre.
i don't think they've quite figured out how to make a profit off the Internet, though. They've tried different models with mixed successes.
^^ That makes a great deal of sense. i guess you're right.
idk, i guess the idea of using underhanded tactics to eliminate online competition instead of competing with it just seems kind of... cartoonish? It's the Dick Dastardly approach to business, quite opposed to any notion of a free market.

"Unrealistic" doesn't necessarily mean "unreal". Unfortunately.

but it is like 99% of internet in my experience
(made up percentage)
it retreated back to the underground from which it came.
the only Witch House artist I know by name is OOOooOOOOoooo, and I almost certainly got the number of O's wrong, but I don't care.
chillwave kinda fell off the map too which is sad cuz I liked that genre.
Probably the best response.
How many Mimetic Fiction authors are also professors?
Is the question this appears to raise.
Hi Tre.
Anonus is on the nose here.
Excepting the cases of things like Google, which already own half the internet anyway.
