Why is it that when regular people pirate something, they immediately get a notification from the isp, threatening legal action, but when Nvidia pirates something en masse, it’s called groundbreaking innovation
En masse. Nothing Catholic about this.
TIL, thanks for the correction
Because Nvidia has an army of lawyers and a mountain of cash, duh
I mean, Nvidia is being sued by rightsholders in a class action lawsuit.
Good.
Then you have to agree that piracy is theft and people pirating content should be sued.
It's not theft, but it is copyright infringement. I pirate, but I'm under no illusions about what I'm doing. I do try to contribute back to the artist directly where possible.
I only bring it up to make the point that not everybody is calling what Nvidia is doing 'groundbreaking innovation'.
