Yes, because piracy is a much more important battle than censorship could ever be, clearly.
I'm sorry that your piracy problem has created my censorship problem. Censorship is now my main problem so if you'll kindly learn how to turn a trick perhaps we can solve the problems together. Otherwise, your piracy problem will fast become far less of a problem, a non-issue issue if you will.
To say nothing to the fact that sites were blocked because of possibilities. Yah, that'll go far (given velocity from a big stick, zee bat)
You're confusing retail price with paywall I'm afraid. It's ok, don't stress. I'm just trying to help you out. A paywall is a term typically applied to content that is prescription based access and the like. In our case this is a cost of media acquisition - for keeps.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: .. and cue the apologists...
Awesome! A typing tool.
Perhaps we're thinking of two different types of DRM then?
So, then, why do people who buy or license digital media seem to care about DRM? It would seem, to you, that the existence of DRM at all in this argument is a non-argument. Yet, it is not a non-argument, is it? People do care and it does matter. Whether or not you choose to accept that fact is entirely up to you.
There are idiots and there are willful idiots.
For clarity, when I see DRM I think platform lock. I will not willingly purchase nor license anything that imposes any such limitation.
"validates their purchase" - Wha-hut the fa-huck does that mean? Really?
Yes, well, piracy may be under control but, certainly, you are not. Therefore, all current and future attempts at legalizing the tools necessary to control you will not only not be withdrawn but the urgency and frequency of these attempts will increase in fervor and scope until such time as you have been deemed to have been placed under control.
We will not tolerate the threat of a progressive, free-thinking and democratic global society.
Yeah? So what? Most of the bands that we have today that are very well known did not have the Internet in the mix to help "CHOOSE" how to move forward.
"Do you want this nice, puffy, chocolate covered pastry that's mostly air-filled but has the possibility of making you feel full or do you want to go about making your own puffy, cream filled pastry that, in our humble opinion, will probably suck?"
Not entirely unlike "CHOICE" for POTUS that.
Now they have a "REAL" choice.. several choices actually and each and every new "CHOOSER" can navigate, negotiate and research a "MODERN WORLD" where, GASP!, they might even be able to have CONTROL over their own fucking works! IMAGINE THAT.
You just don't appreciate the competition because you're all sniveling, conniving, spoiled freaks (minus approximately 7-13%)
And we're experts on entertainment and could give a pickled pecker about your historical "industry".
The industry that you seemingly represent needs to provide proof that they don't suck, can deal with new realities and provide a modern day equivalent of good service to fans and artists alike.
So, chirp in as you like but realize that many believe that what you currently represent truly sucks. If you need proof of that than you're just a donkey.
I'd like to thank the Royal Society for giving open access to these papers. Thank you.
Henry Oldenburg: “...it is therefore thought fit to employ the Press, as the most proper way to gratify those, whose...delight in the advancement of Learning and profitable Discoveries, doth entitle them to the knowledge of what this Kingdom, or other parts of the World, do, from time to time, afford...”
And so it is done. Digitally, the world is your Press.
RS: "The content can be reused but we do ask that people acknowledge the Royal Society if they do so."
To the likes of Pirate Bay everything they have should be found. There to (re)discover. Why? So more people can find them and read them and multiple copies can flourish and the information, so valuable, so inherent to our being, can never be lost but found again and again. Yes, even in 33GB bundles.
Copyright? I'm fairly comfortable believing that the Society is not into it for what some other folks might be into it for (ahem). When works of art, writings, papers, research, recordings &c reach that point of value where they begin to define us, all of us, then I'm afraid that you're copyright, your limited monopoly, has expired. That would include Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny and pictures of Einstein too. There should be truly tasteless tee-shirts of Micky Mouse porking Tux right about now, existing without fear for the loss of blood.
Anyhoo, hat tip to Royal Society and may you choose to upload a torrent a day. All humans have the capacity to think, show them their history as recorded by you.
And do remember to acknowledge RS if you reference the works. Perhaps keep them informed of anything neat you discover along the way.
I think I forgot one of my thoughts.. oh yeah.. JSTOR? Tagging that shit, like it was theirs? JSTOR? Wha.. wha.. whatever. It is noble to enable discovery yes and I appreciate the gesture but, nope. Not yours. Ours.. or will be, eventually, all of it, even the neat and nifty secret stuff that even you can't provide access to right now.

Your argument, it seems, is solely based on: "I have to pay, therefore..". Which, if I may say, is wrong.
If you have another course to take to get to your point now might be a good time to tack.

How about effectively providing some value apart from your nonsense assumptions that are conspicuously reality adverse?
Piracy is not nor ever was your real problem. Loss of complete and total control via big telecom and bullshit delivery platforms is your problem.
