If you re-sell for example stolen goods, your proceeds from those sale may be taken from you together with whatever stolen good you have on stock, and if you are found to be aware of the illegal origin of those goods, then you are an accomplice and are charged accordingly.

That's why buyers of used items have the difficult task of ascertaining whether those items are stolen or not.

It's quite simple honestly, if you profit off something, you have the responsibility to make sure it's legal. We all like platforms like YouTube where you can find anything you want, but the truth is that they're currently unsustainable when forced to comply with the law.

With the advent of AI there's hope for improved systems for detecting violations, but it doesn't seem to be there yet.

Hundreds of pissed off trek fans adamant that a black woman should not be the main character

No one should be the main character in star trek, it's always been about groups of people working together to overcome difficulties, Discovery shat on that and created a character who's always right no matter what. People shat on Picard for the same reason.

hating that there were no men on the bridge

SNW has what, 3 men in the whole main cast? People love it.

The show writers making episodes like the Kira porn holonovel also didn't help, Quark should have been kicked off the station for that. It's not very star trek to let sexual harrassment happen so blatently, is it? Oh wait, yeah no it was fine. Slap on the wrists, no big deal.

Quark also almost caused Jadzia's death when he let in the guy who wanted to steal her symbiont, it's just a bit of bad writing where they shouldn't let a main character they intend to keep cross certain lines.

Bashir skulking around begging Dax for a date and monologing about winning his prize, was creepy as fuck too

Who said people liked that? Everyone says the first two seasons of DS9 were bad, for many reasons.

You guys need to keep in mind there's a huge cross over between nerds and incels

You should stop trying so hard to find reasons to hate people. Incel is a derogatory term, by the way, in its base interpretation it's just someone who can't get a partner, not necessarily a vile person. You're the one being toxic in this case.

old white guys who like imagining white guys in charge of exploring space and getting to fuck all the alien women.

Worf's one of the most beloved characters, and the one with the most episodes, and he's black.

No one's saying Trek's perfect, but you should stop trying to find faults in its fandom just for the sake of being contrarian.

This implies two snails at some point lived in the same shell

I even liked the musical episode

I mean, we all love the classics, but none of the series were perfect. SNW is excellent trek for me.

They can have as many platforms as they like, we don't want monopolies, duopolies or such, they just have to license out their works to others!

Google is monopolistic now, but they didn't BECOME the biggest search because of it, obviously. They became the biggest because they had the best search engine, then leveraged it to become what they are now.

Nah they were gaining a lot even before the war. Do people have such short memories?

We were rightly worried about Google glass, we had no idea there was something even worse on the horizon
