TRANSCRIPT
PIRATEWEALTH
first of all, the phenomenon of piracy is much bigger than just debates on whether stealing is a crime
chinese capitalism is built on the pirates
arthouse anybody?the flawed distribution
despecialized edition of star wars
the anti-piracy state tax
Rubric: meanwhile in Russia
in a post-soviet union piracy is an art
the old capitalism is lazy
and it is stupid
and it does not care about the minorities
its security is deeply flawed
it is reasons why piracy is here
as we see, piracy is a very complex issue that is why it is still here and it is legendary
Technically, pirates are hackers in exile
originally the hacker was a warrior
“consensual hallucination that was the matrix…”
Matrix movies heavily rely on the first fantasies about
digital
freedom from the two natures
1
And it is an extension of the neurons system
2
today is different
What is important is that rise of the digital capitalism happened exactly as happened rise of the capitalism
it broke with symbolical exchange
digital was tribal
here we have to peek up an idea of McLuhan about retribalization
Not communities
Kinship or fake kinship
Exchange with a goal
Agency
Intentionality
Accidentality
Times and space separation
Teleology
because now it is a e-tribe
and now this tradition is forbidden
however, you cannot just take internet culture and
rip it into pieces
pirate culture
DIY culture
global capitalism does the same what national autocracy once did
it is like “vegetarian tyranny” in the age of post ideology
Yet, there is still a danger
Capitalism speculates on the implosion
THE IMPLOSION
THE CAPITALISM
IT SPECULATES ON PASSIVITY AND UNWILLINGNESS OF MAJORITY TO PROTEST
Yet, fight for digital happened on the streets
radicalization and intensification of war
the long and slow death of a file is a way to kill piracy
SO, WHAT DOES CAPITALISM HIDE?
PIRACY IS A HISTORY OF A BETRAYAL
THE ALIENATION FROM THE FILES
PIRATES NEUTRALIZED DIGITAL DIVIDE
THE PIRATED COPY IS A GREAT ADVERTISEMENT
Yet, the the status of piracy is more of a dilemma than a clear issue.
While arguments of opposition are reasonable, at this point, capitalism for once doesn’t speak absurd either.
The limited reality of piracy which it maintains today is a good thing, but it could be even more limited but still essential. Or not?
