  Re: How could it be copyrighted?

  Sony says they own it, so they own it. Pretty simple. You gotta problem with that?

  It depends on who is throwing it at whom.

  Re:

  Actually it's what happens when one video service dominates the field. There should be a mass exodus away from Youtube because of their policies, but there are few places people can go and get their fanbase to follow them.

  Re: Glamor

  I don't think the nature of media is to glamorize. The nature of media is to report on interesting things. Glamorous and exciting things are interesting. They aren't glamorize by being reported on.

  If it's free speech, why are they paying to put their ad in my face?

  I like to think that CNN put that giant red arrow on the screen cap to appease the MPAA.

  When reporters start killing people with their journalism, maybe we can start considering this bill.

• On the post: Hollywood Helps Show Why DMCA Takedowns Are Dangerous, By Taking Down Links To MPAA's Search Engine

  Re: Re: Live by the DMCA notice, get de-listed by the DMCA notice

  Excempt MPAA companies aren't the only ones producing content. You would have to do this for any company that produces IP, and then you'd in effect be creating a permission only internet.
  
  Never mind that Google isn't the internet, and takedowns aren't for links to content but to the content itself, which isn't controlled by Google.

  Considering the amount of televangelist hokum being broadcast over the airwaves, I guess that is what God intended - free and easily ignored.

  Re:

  Wow, talk about an old man yelling that things ain't done the way they used to be. Music's been a vital artform for 500 years, but I guess it's all going to come to an end in the next 20.

  Re: Re: Re:

  You're the one that said Bowie was keen to make copyright disappear, not me. I'm not keen for copyright to disappear, and neither was Bowie. He simply saw that copyright wouldn't jive well with the internet, and rather than try to fight technological progress, he predicted copyright would lose and decided to think of ways artists could sustain themselves without copyright.
  
  But go ahead and make up your own reality with your petty insults.

  Sounds like creative choices were made to me. Even the choice to do it that way was creative.

  Re:

  1. He wasn't keen on having copyright disappear. He just saw that the internet would clash with copyright law, which it did.
     
     2. Releasing your work as "public domain" is not the same as advocating an end of copyright (or reform of copyright law) because even though he was a leader, it wouldn't change the system. He might make a statement that way but nothing would be gained from it.
     
     3. He could claim his work was "public domain" but legally there's no way to do that. All work is covered by copyright whether you want it to be or not. How long would that public domain status hold up 70 years after his death?

  Re:

  Just because it's illegal doesn't mean they can't do it. Good luck to any record label that tries to sue a radio station for playing a Bowie tribute.

  Copyright isn't gone, but it sure is ignored and irrelevant for lot of people.
  
  Bye bye Bowie.
