More laws that will only affect people who follow laws

I mean, they do usually effect the people that break them and go to prison too.

It's like how DRM only hurts people who purchase content legally.

It's been very illegal to pirate games for decades, and still pirated content is quite common in the wild. What's banning it (defamation) harder going to practically achieve?

Literally nothing, but morons will pretend otherwise in order to waste money and time because they can't think of any other way to engage the problem.

Isn't that... all laws?

[–] kibiz0r@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

Might as well not make any laws then.

How? How will this only effect people who follow laws? If you aren't making ai porn of real underage girls how would this affect you, a law abiding citizen?
