If bank doesn't loan the money, they can take their issue to the mafia.
I'm sure someone will hand over the needed money, in exchange for some body parts.
the actual godforsaken fuck is wrong with you, you sociopathic son of a bitch
when this one person wins in reverse lottery, his fellow pirates are on the losing side of the equation
No, they’re not. They don’t have to pay the fine. They don’t even have to worry if that one person lives or dies.
Given that pirate groups have connections to other pirate organisations, can't they easily manage money flows in such way that one pirate paying damage awards can be absorbed by their pirate organisation?
jfc, you actually think piracy groups are fucking rich
it’s not even Thursday, and you’re so out of touch that even Hall and Oates are facepalming at you
It would be sad if one person would have to bear the burden caused by large number of pirates.
And yet, that’s the world you and other copyright maximalists have pushed for: a world where downloaders and uploaders alike can be punished to absurd extremes by incredibly powerful corporations for the sake of “protecting intellectual property”.
And don’t try to deny that you’re a copyright maximalist. You’ve openly admitted that you would sabotage Meshpage to the point of non-functionality just so it can never be used to commit even accidental copyright infringement. Hell, the only other thing you seem to worship with the same level of “better than God” religious fervor is yourself.
I’m proposing that while the technology may eventually get there, the amount of work a person would have to put in will be untenable.
I’m not talking only about mimicking the aesthetics—though that is something to consider. (Do you want BangBros-style “handheld cam” aesthetics or Vixen-style “for women” aesthetics?) It’d be about being able to properly account for everything from subtle body movements (both voluntary and involuntary) that can change with each passing moment to how even a light sheen of sweat affects lighting. It’d be about getting every last detail “correct” enough to properly fool people into thinking they’re watching actual people having sex.
Like I said: At some point, it’d honestly be easier to film two people fucking than try to make people believe CGI porn is the real deal.

When users are paying peanuts, the quality of the resulting software might not be as good as they hope.
I paid nothing for Notepad++, Mozilla Firefox, Mozilla Thunderbird, Advanced Renamer, KeePass, PhraseExpress, LibreOffice, the GNU Image Manipulation Program, XnView MP, MP3Tag, QBittorrent, SumatraPDF, and RetroArch. I have never had any serious issues with any of those applications, and they all do well when used for their primary purpose (plain text word processor, web browser, email client, bulk renamer, password manager, text expander, MS Office suite replacement, image editor, image viewer, bulk MP3 tag editor, bittorrent client, PDF/document viewer, and video game emulator).
Maybe your software just sucks, bro.
You gotta be kidding us that $48 should buy you software that actually works.
Aseprite doesn’t cost even half that much. Not only does it work, it works so well that a great many pixel artists consider it their go-to program. (As do I, and that was after several years of using the GNU Image Manipulation Program.)
Maybe your software just sucks, bro.
You don't really get what you deserve, but only what you spend money on.
Again: I’ve spent little-to-no money on the bulk of the programs I use on an everyday basis. I’ve rarely (if ever) encountered any major issues with any of them, and they’re all good-to-great at their primary functions.
Which specific people have been censored by social media companies, such that they are not allowed to express themselves on platforms outside of the major social media platforms? And for what specific speech were they censored?
No, CGI will continue to improve, but there will always be an inherent uncanniness to it. Even Disney wasn’t able to stay out of the uncanny valley with the young Carrie Fisher CGI in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
Just to toss an example out there: I don’t think CGI could ever accurately recreate the sex scene in Bound in such a way that I could be 100% fooled into thinking I was looking at real people. And that’s not even a hardcore sex scene—just a really well-filmed one.
Movements are still only part of the story, though. You also have to consider lighting, skin appearance (e.g., flushed, sweaty), and any other number of variables.
And even if you get past all that, you still have to make it look so lifelike and real that it would legitimately fool the average person rather than fall even a few feet into the uncanny valley. I don’t think that’s ever going to happen.
But on the bright side, the inherent “unreality” of 3D models lends itself well to stylization, which is a big plus when trying to create porn of heavily stylized fictional characters.
…oh, and I fully take responsibility for and apologize for this entire conversation, Mike. 😅

they get a loan from a bank and pay the fines with the loan
No bank will ever loan someone money to pay a legal fine. What the fuck have you been smoking.
it might take 30 years of eating beans and oatmeal before they can get freed from their mistake in their early career
Bold of you to assume that someone with no options for making enough money to survive when they have to pay a massive and disproportionate fine for copyright infringement will live even 30 days, never mind 30 years.
You can't expect golden toilet with gems and limestone when you purchase products created by small teams (like one person).
And yet, you’ve been saying that your product either rivals or outperforms every available 3D rendering program in numerous ways. If that were true, you shouldn’t have any problem getting people to use it.
But between your acting like an entitled asshole (you’re not entitled to a mansion because you wrote a few lines of code), your program being nowhere near as functional as any of your competitors (read: your objective superiors) in the ways people would need it to be functional, and you yourself treating copyright law as something to worship above even God Herself—to the point where you’ve admitted that you would short-circuit your own program to ensure it can’t ever violate even one person’s copyright anywhere in the world—your inability to make people use your program is…understandable.
And that’s before we get into how you’ve continuously changed what the market is for your program. First it’s everyone in the 3D modelling world, then it’s copyright maximalists, now it’s kids—make up your fucking mind, son! Shit or get off the toilet!
You are your own worst enemy, tp. One day, I hope you see that and give up on your unhealthy obsessions with copyright, Meshpage, and proving that you’re a demigod. Go touch grass, then go get some professional help for your obvious mental health issues.
The trick to getting CGI porn right isn’t the faces—it’s the bodies and the way they interact. CGI porn can’t accurately recreate sex without the artists putting in a lot of work to render genitals (and their interactions) in a realistic way. And that’s to say nothing of varying facial expressions more than once or twice in a small loop, or the way real human bodies subtly change position based on how/where people are fucking, or any number of small details that can’t be easily recreated with a simple video loop.
I’ve seen some good CGI porn. Artists in that field are helped by having access to high-quality models, especially from modern games. But I’ve yet to see any CGI porn that I could mistake for the real deal. While it may look better in the future, it won’t be mistaken for real porn unless a hell of a lot of work is put into doing so—and I mean more work than it would take to, say, have two actual people fuck while wearing costumes and makeup.
