To be honest, I have been forced to choose a side during all those debates about copyright and advertising/adblocking. And it was artists who forced me to make that choice. It's hard not to see this as just another way in which artist are trying to limit how people use their own computing devices in a way that provides the most value to them.

All these talking points about lack of empathy for poor suffering artists have already been made a million times in those other debates. They just don't pack much of a punch anymore.
