Gregory's Server@ewen Legal consequences are rare and that really hurts but there are other consequences. Materialism is glamorous but unsatisfying. The arrogant can't see their faults and so their relationships to things and persons sour but they don't know why and can't escape.
You know the deep contentment of work, creativity and community. Users/abusers cannot experience it and unless they change, it haunts their inner life even though apparently successful. The times are dark. Guard your light.
@PMrain @ewen This.
There was someone I knew peripherally years ago who ran Etsy shops where she stole other people's images and made...I think stickers...her first shop was shut down and she started a new one.
It was entirely just a side hustle she'd learned about online. It wasn't even especially profitable. It brought her extra money on top of her warehouse job.
It was shocking and yet, I think that's what a lot of it is. People who want a way out of their own trap within the system.
