Just had myself some kind of freedom boner.

Imagine being incharge of national piracy

Such a flex🗿

I believe Iran and other sanction countries would be doing the same? I see no drawbacks

[–] nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 8 hours ago

it's pretty much every country outside of the western hegemony.

any manufacturing city will have markets filled with factory overstock from various brands they produce for. it's perfectly normal.

copyrights and trademarks do not exist in places where they are not enforced

I've seen better crops during the Irish famine

And yet, I've not seen a better comment in a good while!

Yeah, I haven't seen a poster bomb this hard since the IRA

[–] probable_possum@leminal.space 46 points 19 hours ago

Cropped it for you.

[–] somegeek@programming.dev 63 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Same for Iran :)) We have no copyright so there are official platforms like netflix with all pirated movies and the national tv shows pirated movies constantly. Also, not a single person buys windows or office licenses here :))

[–] ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 7 hours ago

Too many clothes required.

[–] aBundleOfFerrets@sh.itjust.works 32 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

No one buys legitimate windows or office licenses anywhere, lol (except for corporations, I guess)

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 21 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Depends if you count OEM licences that came with their device as purchases, which would be the vast majority of people.

[–] faintwhenfree@lemmus.org 24 points 15 hours ago (3 children)

I gave my Linux laptop to my brother and that fucker bought a separate retail copy of windows (because it'd be stealing otherwise). I'm ashamed to be related to that fucker.

[–] DancingBear@midwest.social 7 points 10 hours ago

In a stolen font

YOU WOULDNT STEAL A SHITTY OPERATING SYSTEM

[–] faintwhenfree@lemmus.org 17 points 15 hours ago (3 children)

Sorry it was six years ago. I'm told to let it go, but I just don't understand.

[–] jjlinux@lemmy.zip 10 points 15 hours ago

Never let go.

How dare they after being treated so greatly by the US over the last decades? 😭

[–] shane@feddit.nl 26 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Have they said "thank you" once?

[–] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 9 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I bet they didn't. So ungrateful!

[–] willington@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Has Cuba tried wearing a suit?

Probably a good way to spread American culture into the country... Sweden has become super Americanized just because of American movies.

[–] BenchpressMuyDebil@szmer.info 3 points 11 hours ago (3 children)

Why does Sweden dislike the US so much according to this poll though:

Donald Trump has been threatening Europe both militarily and economically. Two years ago it would have been completely different.
