My friend, you seem to be too young to have gone to a leech-n-lan. Those were indeed the days... yarrr...

I think it's the other way around. Civil Disobedience is a type of passive resistance, but I think we're both saying the same thing here. You don't just have to do civil obedience to have passive resistance, and other techniques are equally valid. The two even go well together.

For example if a small number of people do a civil disobedience, you can quietly seed as well, so even if they're all jailed the seeding will continue.

+1. I was giving an example but you really need everyone involved to sit down and think through the way things are going to work. Every successful act of civil disobedience is thoroughly planned out.

+1, it's fine to just share.

Also I guess a finer point: Non-commercial filesharing is not piracy, we just call it that (somewhat) ironically because this is how the industry wants to label us. Almost all the laws imply a profit being made.

You must do it "loudly". You have to seed in front of the prime minister, or get the news to cover you doing it, and put your real name out there.

...disappeared...

I wonder where they went...

Or abcde for command line.

Someone apologising for a repost? That's howyou know it's not Reddit.

I reject your idea that it could allow copyright laundering

It's fine, that doesn't change the legality. Unsure whether a judge would include reasoning like this in their judgement.

My license to play the game allows me to incorporate my gameplay into a new work,

No, you are not freely allowed to create derivative works. You are probably arguing fair use or fair dealing, but Twitch streaming generally wouldn't count (it's not part of the list of exceptions).

You seem to be talking via theory not actual law. Most lawyers say it would need to be tried in court but Nintendo (it was Nintendo making the claims at the time) would have a solid case. The reason is that it would allow copyright laundering: You could play the game and license the "video" to a game company which could use the assets in the video (eg: Mario) to make a new Mario game.
