This. Fix the problems, regardless of gender.

(Interestingly enough I’ve been accused of sexism or similar for suggesting the same thing when the genders are swapped. Interesting how things work)

Yeah, that’s like… 250 billion tons of rice. That’s over 30 tons of rice per person in this world. Not sure this much rice even exists on this planet.

I understand that perfectly well. It unfortunately doesn’t change the fact that he is distorting the facts.

I fully get that point, and it would be pretty neat if we managed to pull that through from a legislative standpoint. I just wish he would stick to the facts more. Essentially making the argument you make in your last sentence.

I watched the first 10-15 minutes of this and have to say, while I agree with him on principle, he’s either misinformed or exaggerating the anti-circumvention regulation. There are a number of exemptions in anti-circumvention laws in the US for personal use. How far this goes was made clear in court, Apple took the creators of an iOS jailbreak to court and lost, making it clear that jailbreaking is not illegal, even though it clearly circumvents the “protection” system in place. Similar applies to circumventing DRM for backup copies of media, for instance.

Of course, I would rather see no anti-circumvention legislation whatsoever, but the way he misportrays the situation makes me question his credibility.
