  Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Copyright panic attack.

  The thing is that things changed long ago. Copyright was overhauled, and terms were extended to extraordinary lengths, and orphaned works became a thing. Where was the data that said all this would be beneficial to the public?

  What makes you think they didn't do that?

  The only thing embarrassing here is that you actually think your juvenile comments are embarrassing to anyone but yourselves.

  It doesn't matter. They still have ways to track your business, and the people you do business with still do their business over the net.

  Re: Copyright panic attack.

  If that were true, then why does the number of available books in 2000 and 2010 match 1910's levels? It's not as if books have suddenly become the dominant form of entertainment. It looks much more like publishers are only focused on their latest and most profitable books, while keeping most of their back catalog off the market and out of print - a century of culture locked in a vault.
  
  But it is worth considering how many books were actually published each decade, if such data were available. I suspect it would be the opposite of what you propose - with far more books published in the 20th century than the 19th century.

  At this point, all governments are interested in is having complete control over the internet, because it's something that can be used to undermine their authority.
  
  They'll talk about freedom all day long, but they're only interested in the freedoms they grant us, because those can be taken away.

  I know of plenty of other websites with atrocious fear mongering - and that's why I don't go to those websites. Why waste my time doing something I don't like?

  Since I'm mainly watching their Criterion collection it's not an issue for me.

  Re: bdj

  Netflix has started running promos for their original content. I consider those commercials. Thankfully Hulu offered commercial free streaming at about the same time, so I made the switch.

  Never mind that most of those one hour shows are just 10 minute videos stretched out to fill a timeslot.

  Re: It IS a Battle of SV vs. Hollywood (Sadly)

  I see absolutely nothing in those six points that would irreparably harm Hollywood in any way. You could make arguments against all of them, but they aren't arguments that would beneficial for anyone - except maybe the few people whose job it is to argue against those things.
