I understand what you're saying the point to me that sticks out was the usage of "hypothetical", which to me would mean things that don't exist, which wouldn't be a strawman as i understand it. With that being said I'm genuinely not trying to be an ass, just explaining the way I perceived the comments, I hope it's not needed to say, but I meant no offense in my reply of your comment.
You're correct. Trolls love to hide in grey area naval gazing questions. My kneejerk reaction is to directly refute and shut it down. I definitely err on the side of asshole now though.
No offense taken. It is still a strawman though, because regardless of the realness of what I'm talking about, they're still referring to something different and then attacking that as if it is the thing I'm talking about.
There is no strawman I'm attacking. I'm addressing you directly. I'm not reforming or re-addressing your argument, I'm refuting it.
Your premise is flawed and as you state yourself it comes from a place of naivety as you don't understand the tech. Which is fine, we don't have to understand everything, but don't cry foul when your premise is corrected in a public forum. I replied up the chain with what you could do and projects that are close to what you propose. I also gave you resources that you can go through to learn more if you have the interest.
But it doesn't change the fact that maybe the greatest theft of artistic labor in our lifetimes has already happened and there's very little independent artists can do about it.
