Funny thing is ALL these legal frameworks are there to protect these 3 people like you.

If there would be no enforcement of IP/licensing or legal enforcement - M$, Google etc. would not be nice - they would just come over and kick your doors cut your head off because they could do so. With legal framework they at least have to ask someone else.

You just have to understand you don't stand a chance with your 3 buddies against 10 motivated attackers.

Writing about "accepting terms of dominant party" you clearly never had a robbery at your house - imagine now corporations doing the same when there would be no legal frameworks.

Read up on Dutch East India Company - or just Nestle - Microsoft or Google are still quite nice companies with Walt Disney and Nintendo.

This is a slight misreading of my general political position. I am pro-government in general. I find the term "monopoly on violence" to generally indicate someone who lives a very cosseted and easy life who can spend time getting mad about like, seatbelt laws or speed limits, so I use it somewhat tounge-in-cheek.

There's quite a lot of possibilities between DMCAs of youtube-dl repositories and Big-co death-squads decapitating people in their homes. I'd prefer where we are now to the Brazil end of that spectrum but we can imagine better models of digital and intellectual 'property'.
