Am somewhat late to the (third) party, why are most people here using a newpipe fork? Is the original compromised somehow?

Thanks guys, let’s hope I can figure it out (have only used the DL with GUI)
What kind of logic is that? It is perfectly reasonable to care about human rights and totalitarianism but not for copyrights. In fact it seems a bit questionable that you would use the speeding ticket of online rule violations as an excuse to completely discard any other moral considerations.
Ultimately it’s your choice of course, but still. Questionable reasoning
I’m okay with that. The golden streaming age was when there was one platform that had virtually everything available (early Netflix) for a fair price. That was also when many people gave up on piracy, because the availability and convenience was the same, and the price was fair as well.
Ideally this short sighted greed decimates all those streaming services again, collapsing all those spread out shows and movies into a convenient and affordable platform like it used to be.
At least music streaming services have largely avoided this walled garden crap, most of them have the same range and selection of artists and music available as the others because making music exclusive works even less than for shows and movies. Notably this has also helped to avoid undue price spikes because good competition is ensured.
A large IP reform that consolidates licensing and patent agreements into a single one: automatically granted to anyone who applies, cannot be denied to ensure competition, always provides a fixed percentage that cannot be arbitrarily changed on a whim.
Also, rights to IP can only be held by living human beings that are also its creator or have been directly involved in its creation, cannot be sold or inherited. and are relinquished upon death.
The idea being that IP rights cannot stifle innovation or competition, but ensure that good ideas are still rewarded appropriately. This will also end corporations vacuuming up any new idea potentially useful for mankind to make a for profit version later.
Not necessarily a pirate dream, but I really wouldn’t mind paying a fair amount for a good product as long as it goes to the person who actually made it and is freely available immediately. Fucking geoblocking
Open source, non profit ai is the only one I would consider using in some form. I really hope this works out, I am tired of capitalism taking every utopian idea and turning it into a cynical for profit farce.
Even the whole current trend of ai is a sign of this, before when someone spoke of ai it was to take over humanity’s menial and laborious tasks so the people would be free to pursue their passions.
Now every Corp tries to create ai to do creative work, so the people have more time for menial labor and the revolutionary, outrageous, thought and change inducing aspect of creative work is wholly neutered and commercialized by the system.

Got it, just switched over myself because I liked the differences in the description. Thanks for letting me know!
