I've seen better crops during the Irish famine
Yeah, I haven't seen a poster bomb this hard since the IRA
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? 😭
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.
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.
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.
Cropped it for you.

cuban here, can confirm, you could see the latest movies
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.
You live in Cuba? I'd love to know what your life is like.
not anymore, I left a few years ago but I still go there to visit family
Please open an Ask Me Anything thread! I know nothing about daily life in Cuba and I'd be super curious
Imagine being incharge of national piracy
Such a flex🗿
I believe Iran and other sanction countries would be doing the same? I see no drawbacks
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
Probably a good way to spread American culture into the country... Sweden has become super Americanized just because of American movies.
Why does Sweden dislike the US so much according to this poll though:

Donald Trump has been threatening Europe both militarily and economically. Two years ago it would have been completely different.
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.
That's exactly what Cory Doctorow has been advocating for
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?
Cuba also grants political asylum to US fugitive cop killers
Wait what!? You're telling me that I can blast a pig and go live on a tropical, Marxist lenonist island?
