The ability to change features, prices, and availability of things you’ve already paid for is a powerful temptation to corporations.

    Prostitutes can’t have a romantic life unless they’re paid to do so? This is such a bizarre metaphor, let’s see where it leads 🍿

    Also: if there’s no consent it’s not steeling, it is rape. It’s really strange to think how because of someone’s profession we recontextualize the act as steeling and not rape. Ie it’s like saying one is steeling from prostitutes while not addressing the fucking rape. This is your brain on Milton Friedman economics - where your body is capital and it has a price.

        Sex is a fleeting service.

        I’m not sure what you’re trying to say here.

            Yes, that’s the definition of a service. Just not sure what your point is about talking about prostitutes as if one was steeling a service when they get raped. Steeling from creatives is rape or something?

              The metaphor is both limited and clear and any failure to understand is so absurd as to seem intentional.

                Wait, instead of metaphor you meant a literal example? Absurd indeed to compare rape to downloading something illegally.
