If they did, something good may happen someday.
If you’ve quit content piracy, and you decided to make a difference for our creative world… you are making a right choice.
So, get yourself back to employment via any job what you want to choose, save up some money, plan to visit a public library because… we’re going to get ready to find out what if consumers quit content piracy in reality!
Story
Imagine if you were just minding your own business, typing away on your computer, and you are writing open-source games for your consumers to play, and you managed to keep your work “DRM-Free” with common sense. You choose CC BY-SA as your default/daily license for your creative works what you created yourself. You are just waiting for your payment via a check, or direct deposit to arrive. You have a plant in your office, and you have 4 of your partners who have skills of coding, and artistry. Usually, you write books and self-publish them to be distributed to public libraries as a way to enforce common sense for your business. You also offer hard copies of your works as a way to offset use of our internet, easing the load on servers each day.
You saved your work on your Ubuntu Linux computer… for this instance; your Ubuntu desktop computer at your own company. Well, you overheard a news about content piracy online is declining slowly. Well, this is a start of a trend when 1 person who is released from prison,–after serving his time for copyfraud, money laundering, extortion, and fraudulently claiming trademarks with a financial gain,–and being a trademark troll. However; this copyfraudster has ordered to forfeit all of his intellectual rights of ALL of his works for life, and he’s NOT allowed to own any intellectual property for 10 years during his probation period… also… he is ordered to pay for damages by having his wages garnished. You also overheard 1 person who intentionally quitting piracy,–after his best friend has faced a permanent injunction,–after he pirated someone’s games on discs, and fraudulently claiming copyright on their works. That caused him to start a campaign to help others quit content piracy.
So, you checked your revenue of your games being sold to stores who always keep products on shelves, inspired by Aldi. Your company has a policy to prevent price gouging as a way to use common sense. High prices are intended for quality products that are made with common sense. Most of your products what your company make are open-source, and your company has a proper upcycling/recycling as a priority. Also, your company has saved some money,–after expenses are taken care of, using a savings account to hold funds for a long period of time.
Three of your employees take a bus home to relax as 4 other employees start working on these computers and phones. You can see an article about a person who is writing a blog post about his adventure as he quit piracy. You read the post during your break, and you get inspired by his story.
You start off by reading the first set of paragraphs:
My friend has faced a permanent injunction for content piracy, and he is now in serious trouble. So, I decided to quit downloading pirated movies, and pirated music. And I also destroyed all of these pirated materials stored inside my computer’s disk.
Now, I am going to rent movies digitally, but NOT purchase a lifetime access to a digital copy. What’s the purpose of supporting my favorite artists and creators with money? This is way I must quit content piracy immediately!
Now, I’ll visit a public library to check out a book what I want to read to support my favorite author. Even if I check out a digital copy… I’ll NOT copy it.
Right now, I am experimenting with quitting piracy, and paying for content to consume.
This blogger is writing his story about his constant piracy what he is stuck doing for years. However; he learned from his friend who was so lazy… not obtaining permission from a creator. He was shocked, he decided to quit piracy immediately. Well, he is starting to do the right thing, and reconsider paying for media content, and respect anyone’s intellectual property. Well, he never created something new before! He uses his typing skills to type up his post, just like writing an entry in his electronic book.
You scrolled down the page, and you discovered his post is extremely long, telling his long story about his piracy addiction. To me… content piracy is extremely addictive, but you can quit content piracy. Unfortunately, there’s no such resource for people who were trying to quit content piracy. All of that overcrowding of prisons, and seized computers in some warehouses being overcrowded… this is a total mess via the real world.
You resumed writing your electronic books and games like a creative person. Your company’s revenue goes up with an alarming rate. You rely on a self-publishing platform as a way to distribute your works without DRM. You kept public libraries as your main drivers for distribution. However; your rival creator still put DRM on her work, and she relies on a subscription model for her works, and she uses hard DRM to protect her work. However; she is still susceptible to piracy. However; she is receiving some money for her company, but she has to deal with pirates, and seek damages for pirated content.
You give your company some time to have a buildup of cash available to use for expenses. You need to wait for a month for your next payment. However; a publishing platform has experience a higher rate of CPC (cost per checkout), and public libraries get overwhelmed by your published works. Your platform administrator conducts a study to see if there’s a trend of piracy reduction.
Meanwhile; you encountered a new employee who has a person who is helping his friend in prison quit content piracy. Well, your new employee is a creator, but she has a computer that ONLY use Microsoft Windows. Your company doesn’t allow Windows at all because, Windows is a such a bad OS on PCs. Your new employee only codes on Windows. You have a FreeDOS laptop available for her to code programs. She is NOT a fan of open-source software. She is a hard supporter of Adobe, Microsoft, Apple, Disney, and other giants. She only banks with Wells Fargo. She is a paying customer who is a hardcore closed-source customer who won’t make a switch to open-source lifestyle. On a plus side; she made friends with a person who just started to quit content piracy, and they decided to start a focus group with a permission of your company. However; they need to rent an empty store area to launch a group to help quit content piracy.
Weeks went by; you picked up a new post on a website as a way to catch up with a trend of people quitting content piracy. You published new content, and you can see 3 of your employees putting in new plants to add more fresh air to a large computer lab. However; your computer lab technician has bought new computers for this large room,–with either Linux or FreeDOS installed, along with open-source firmware included. These computers are a must for coders who code as a living. However; 2 of your other employees want Windows installed, but the closest option is to use Windows via an emulator to run this closed-source OS. These emulators are installed on these machines to run Windows as an app (application)… an option allowed by your company. They got their own personal laptop computers with Windows installed, but they disagree with a requirement to have Linux installed.
You type away as you overhear a majority of your employees discussing about using open-source software with common sense, and upcycling machines daily.
