I've seen better crops during the Irish famine

Yeah, I haven't seen a poster bomb this hard since the IRA

[-] somegeek@programming.dev 1 points 1 week ago

Same for Iran :)) We have no copyright so there are official platforms like netflix with all pirated movies and the national tv shows pirated movies constantly. Also, not a single person buys windows or office licenses here :))

How dare they after being treated so greatly by the US over the last decades? 😭

[-] voytrekk@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

They wouldn't be able to pay the creators due to sanctions anyways. Could be seen as a positive because it allows the creators to put pressure on the US to lift the sanctions on the country.

[-] Redjard@reddthat.com 1 points 1 week ago

It's also completely fine under all international law.
Following copyright law is more like a trade agreement, so if you feel wronged enough as a nation it's completely uncontroversial to suspend all or all international copyright law and deal with the consequences (mainly the us being very salty about it).

The EU contingency for a US attack on Greenland for example is among other steps to suspend all US copyrights recognition and starve the US service industry.

There's absolutely nothing "positive" about Cuba joining a genocidal empire just so they can broadcast commercials.

[-] voytrekk@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

I never said Cuba should join the US, just that corporations could collect royalties on their copyrighted material if they weren't barred from doing business with the country.

[-] probable_possum@leminal.space 1 points 1 week ago

Cropped it for you.

[-] croquetaProdal@piefed.zip 1 points 1 week ago

cuban here, can confirm, you could see the latest movies

[-] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 week ago

Seconding the other person. I am deeply curious about learning about Cuba, whether you currently live there or not. I understand if you don't want to talk openly because of flame wars in comment sections, but I'd love to DM, or move the conversation to a different community if needed.

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

You live in Cuba? I'd love to know what your life is like.

[-] croquetaProdal@piefed.zip 1 points 1 week ago

not anymore, I left a few years ago but I still go there to visit family

[-] Scrollone@feddit.it 1 points 1 week ago

Please open an Ask Me Anything thread! I know nothing about daily life in Cuba and I'd be super curious

[-] clot27@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

Imagine being incharge of national piracy

Such a flex🗿

[-] clot27@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 week ago

I believe Iran and other sanction countries would be doing the same? I see no drawbacks

[-] nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago

it's pretty much every country outside of the western hegemony.

any manufacturing city will have markets filled with factory overstock from various brands they produce for. it's perfectly normal.

copyrights and trademarks do not exist in places where they are not enforced

[-] 1984@lemmy.today 0 points 1 week ago

Probably a good way to spread American culture into the country... Sweden has become super Americanized just because of American movies.

[-] BenchpressMuyDebil@szmer.info 1 points 1 week ago

Why does Sweden dislike the US so much according to this poll though:

[-] paranoia@feddit.dk 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Donald Trump has been threatening Europe both militarily and economically. Two years ago it would have been completely different.

[-] merc@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 week ago

Imagine if they focused on creating tools that could jailbreak iOS devices, John Deere tractors, HP printers, etc. I bet they could sell that as a service. What could the US or American companies do to stop them? They could be Disenshittification Island.

I am personally betting a lot that this is where it's going (career development-wise, not prediction markets, ugh)

US tech has been absolutely awful and stagnating for awhile. It's one thing to continue to deal with it when it's actually offering good value, but it's not. Between the data sovereignty concerns and tariffs, the EU is positioned to jolt its own tech market if it's ready to take the opportunity, and I think they are.

I'm not sure I'd expect anything big or grand, much like the "year of the Linux desktop" I don't know that there will really be a breaking moment. Just slow building of momentum in that direction. And that's all it really takes, once that momentum takes hold it's not going to start flowing back to Microsoft. These greedy corporations overplayed their hand, they broke the agreements, and now there's really no going back.

So I hope ...

Jesus Christ. How many times have the USA done something like this? And how many times are they currently doing something like this?

[-] VinegarChunks@lemmus.org -1 points 1 week ago

Cuba also grants political asylum to US fugitive cop killers

[-] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

Wait what!? You're telling me that I can blast a pig and go live on a tropical, Marxist lenonist island?
