Just don’t use repacks like this, the original package is fine. Bandwidth is often free if you get a torrent, no need to save a few hundred MBs with ridiculously CPU intensive compression algorithms.

Eventually, yes. If everyone’s needs are provided for, there is no requirement anymore to extract value from art, one can just make it and share it freely.

Copyright should be abolished.

Why is no one mentioning here that the business model shouldn’t exist? If a copy can be made basically for free, there is no reason not to make it basically free. We should be providing everyone with the means to live regardless of their ability to sell stuff. If everyone was free to do whatever they please because their existence was provided for, people would still make media, because people love making things like that.

Of course that might mean that in the short term, while we don’t do this, pirating might mean that some things stop existing. I’d be completely fine if all Hollywood movies and other shit disappeared overnight. Maybe then people would finally come to the understanding that our current model of doing things sucks.

It’s not a problem though. If you as a pirate want the business model of selling copies to not exist anymore, everyone always pirating would achieve that and not be a problem.

You forget the alternative mindset:

An active desire to see traditional ways of funding to disappear, and the media along with it.

Because this is not log or debug data as OP said. In any case, what do you think would happen with this data? It will be analyzed by some sort of tool because no one could manually look at this much text data. In text, this can be like 1MB of data per second. So in a normal eye tracking session, probably hundreds of MB. The problem isn’t the storage space, but the time it will take to read that in and analyze it each time, forcing you to wait for processing or use lots of memory while reading it. And anyway, in most languages, it’s actually much easier to store the number values directly (in 8 bytes not the 30something this text representation uses) than to convert them to JSON, all languages have some built-in way to do that. And even if not, sqlite is piss-easy and does everything for you, being as simple as JSON.

There is just no reason to do it like that unless you just don’t think about what you’re doing or have no clue.

Meh, I mean sure capitalism sucks, but these people would try to exploit others for personal gain under any system.
