I hear web3 is a decentralised web.
They're talking about piracy.
And if the only choice becomes between privacy and piracy, well, I can't be saying which I would choose, matey. Avast!
Edit: To be clear, I be a sailor of the highest moral fibre - not inclined to pillaging, or looting. But each new DRM thingamajig sets me a wee bit more sympathetic to them what do.
The web is already decentralized. Always was. It's the people that want centralized services for convenience, and some of these services have valid reasons to be centralized. Web3 have nothing to do with any of this.
Domains aren't, and that's a large part of the web. ICANN, a single company, controls all domains, and you have to apply to be a registry with that one company, and don't get me started on 'premium' domains.
