? What's the Don Quiotay thing ; was that being brave, and dueling with a chair ? (Just curious).
Langwadt, thoughts posted in here are what I like, because it's arguing against my angle. If it's a full cheat, to watch a video then, sure, I can be convinced that's unfair to a content creator, and would agree there should be a built-in remedy.
I'm thinking more along the lines of, again, a system with formal grants and legal protection against indulging in another person's 'art', uninvited. But that formal system then has a 'YIELD' clause, meaning an expiration after some number of years.
That way, you can view a movie, like Wizard of OZ, after the copyright expires, and that's considered a benefit, just to the general movie interested public (or students in acting careers etc). Locking things up, into perpetuity, is almost the same as purely destroying such works, remembering that many artists build on what they've seen and learned, from other work. A student, with 6 older classic movies to study, might not afford to pay to view some vintage Charlie Chaplin flick.
Part of what caused this thread to start-up;
I had gotten to a web site that put notice, they wanted to 'track' me, and send notices, so the pop-up said: "ALLOW". and. "BLOCK"...
But then notice said that I must click on 'ALLOW',...to prove that I'm not a BOT !!!
Clever,...or, rather; tacky trick, annoying
