    I generally enjoy Thor’s content but I was about to go insane watching his videos on this. The examples only work if you presume that this proposal would somehow replace both copyright and cyber crime legislation, it’s fucking insane. And like you said, as if this wouldn’t be challenged and changed when it actually becomes some kind of legislation proposition. You don’t start a bargain by cutting back your own demands, it’s so goddam stupid.

      if you move your goal to the half, the midfield shifts to their fourth. it’s not hard to grasp. either he doesn’t see this as a negotiation (in which case he has a middle-school understanding of civics and should get the fuck off his high horse about it) or he’s intentionally fearmongering to snuff out the demand for change (in which case he’s a bad actor and is acting on his conflict of interest and thus loses every ounce of credibility he’s mustered as a sort-of everyman game dev)

        He doesn’t even understand the most basic facts about the legal system in question - he was going on about “b-but what if it sets a bad precedent”… the EU does not use fucking common law (completely, now that the Brits are out). They don’t give a shit about precedents (well, at least they give less of a shit than a common law system would)!
