How many times is this shocking revelation going to be made? I've seen the same damn article regurgitated four times today and over a dozen times over the week. It's getting as annoying as the "I use arch btw" and "how do I quit vim" memes in the unixsphere.
Nothing of importance has even changed! The only difference is that a California law is forcing storefronts to use different nomenclature. The "you're actually paying for a license" thing has been public knowledge for pissing years.
We get it.
Outrage bait is obnoxious. Your kids aren’t going to be playing that one game you played 50 years ago. If they want to play it I’m sure there’s internet archive or they could pick it up for like $1
internet archive is literally right now under attack by hostile actors, which by all logic must be capitalists or governments who want to destroy the public library in favor of a paid and/or censored one.
we shouldnt trust that it will still exist in a few years the way the world is moving.
Confidently incorrect.
I like how you say that without citing any sources. You can be right, but there's no reason you're speculation is any better than someone else's.

I like how you didn't even spend 10 seconds to look up if there was information about the perpetrator of the Internet Archive hack.
There you go, good job. In the future, do that the first time.
In the future look it up yourself you lazy bum
