  I'm pretty sure none of the Paley haters have actually watched the film. It's enchanting and highly original - and I paid money to see it.

  Re: Re: Re:

  Hmm... I wonder if there's a good way to get people to show up for my concert tour? I know, how about recording some of my songs and giving them away for free so that they can become fans? Nah, that would be a waste of time. I'm sure they'll just show up because of my cool band name.

  Re: "Flagged by the community" is a LIE! Took five minutes late on Friday night?

  Yes, we're trying to censor you. Now ask yourself why.

  love/hate relationship?

  I can think of no person more dishonest in the entire IP world.

  
  And yet you keep reading and replying to everything he writes like a salivating hog. Does your whole life boil down to constantly hounding people you hate? Pathetic.

  Looking at that chart, it's the user reviews that have the least disparity.

  IMDB doesn't appear to be much better - it just skews slightly lower.

• On the post: Nearly All Tech Hardware And Services Get Cheaper Over Time — Except For Cable TV

  80%

  80% of the people reading this sentence throw $100 or more at their cable company every month.

  
  I get the feeling this statistic doesn't apply to Techdirt readers.

  Re:

  Registering copyright should be as easy as registering and maintaining a domain name. It's easy and cheap to do but if you don't take responsibility for it you lose it. And it works globally - you don't have to register your domain in every single country. One registration works world wide.

  Re: Doesn't say do away with entirely! The 2nd para quoted pretty concisely re-states my position that prior levels are about right for practical compromise.

  Nobody cares what your position is.

  Another problem not mentioned here about today's digital morass is that a good percentage of the images being uploaded to the internet are infringing. They don't belong to the uploader, and the uploader hasn't been given permission to put it online.
  
  So if in the future you do manage to track down the person that uploaded a picture, they'll likely have no copyright interest in the photo, and of course have no clue where it came from (it's likely the image they found was also infringing).
  
  It's a hot mess and we won't have to wait until 2050 before it's a problem. It's already a problem in 2015.

  What's really sad is that a simple little court case like this costs as much as buying a house.
