Other types of content have way more reason to block piracy since their money comes from opening weekend and physical sales. Most anime make money from merchandise, so the shows are really just advertisements for statues and such (much like G.I. Joe or Transformers cartoons). It makes it pretty obvious that this isn't about making money this is just about the MPA being a dick.

Submission + - Proposal Would Give EU Power To Boot Tech Giants Out of European Market (arstechnica.com) 1
An anonymous reader writes: The EU wants to arm itself with new powers to take on big technology companies, including the ability to force them to break up or sell some of their European operations if their market dominance is deemed to threaten the interests of customers and smaller rivals. EU Commissioner Thierry Breton told the Financial Times that the proposed remedies, which he said would only be used in extreme circumstances, also include the ability to exclude large tech groups from the single market altogether. In addition, Brussels is considering a rating system that would allow the public and stakeholders to assess companies’ behavior in areas such as tax compliance and the speed with which they take down illegal content.
“There is a feeling from end users of these platforms that they are too big to care,” said Mr. Breton, who is leading the overhaul of digital rules in the bloc. “[Under] certain conditions we may also have the power to impose structural separation." The new EU legislation would increase Brussels’ powers to scrutinize the way technology companies gather information on users, following concerns raised by independent researchers that the voluntary disclosures groups make are often misleading or partial. Mr. Breton confirmed that the EU would not remove the limited liability that companies have for the content published on their platforms. “The safe harbor of the liability exemption will stay,” he said. “That’s something that’s accepted by everyone." Mr. Breton said draft legislation will be ready by the end of the year. Proposals are being finalized, and once they are agreed they will go through the European Parliament and the European Council.

This is a super important point and I don't think most people did read to the end. While the GPT-3 model is crazy good at emulating human text across the internet, an editor can also add crazy amounts of intent to their writing by shifting the order of "lines and paragraphs".

Right? I'm not accounting-fluent enough to know where to find how many people they employ, or even whether they list that in the document at all, but it's inconceivable that they have thousands of devs alone.

I agree with your point and want to offer up jq as a great way to filter JSON in unix. While it requires a new language to deal with the data format, that merely proves your point that it's dealing with an alien concept and making it appear unixy.
