@apublicimage @LesleyBarnett Jörg, from a #Hegelian perspective of "the subject" Lesley's definition still applies. The problem here is on the side of the speculating philosopher and the definition of "subject", of course. What I'm mentioning here would also fit to Dennett, if you're so inclined.
Besides, I would be careful in my assessment of the state of consciousness of a raven if it's in a philosophical mood ;-)
The 'war' is only 'lost' if one supposes the goal of the defence is to roll back a new technology. Not so.
The goal of artists is to see intellectual property rights respected.
Wars against piracy are winnable. Very much so.
Photography, cassettes, streaming... The Napsters lose to Spotify every time.
The pattern is a #Hegelian synthesis of sorts. New technology stays. Pirates run wild for a while but eventually lose.
