You could be forgiven for, "Botched execution," and, "First public execution in decades," happening, in that order, within a couple weeks of each other, coming off as a sort of Bronze Age hint given by fate and our hubris-driven refusal to take it.
Yeah, I guess it’s part of doing risk/reward like the taxes thing. It works for many but sometimes it gets ugly for few either by chance or social/political reasons and of course saying everybody does it it’s not helping. I think the Dieselgate was the same thing.
Another recent take is that you could go to jail or bankrupt for sharing some content or you could become billionaire/trillionaire torrenting the whole world. It’s more about the timing and leverage you build along the way.
I fear the Children of Men style future we're stepping into.
