  1. Re:Terrible idea for entertainment based copyright by fictionpuss · · Score: 1 · on If IP Is Property, Where Is the Property Tax?
    If user-generated content was automatically placed in the public domain if a registration/fee process was not followed.. then you'd essentially generate a market of content-squatters - you'd have a multitude of people reposting other peoples popular content with no attribution to the original author.

    From my perspective this is worse than, say, downloading an episode of Lost from thepiratebay because the content market today is a very few to many relationship - the many can easily resolve back to the few and it is only the few who can afford to protect their copyright identity.

    I'm interested in a flatter entertainment market, and that can only come around when the Chocolate Rain kid can compete on equal ground with the established media players, based upon a quality metric of (taste nonewithstanding) end-user views, or similar.

    I use youtube as an example only because it:

    1. Has proved that it can track popular content.
    2. Has mechanisms for dealing with copyright infringement.
    3. Is able to distribute advertising revenue to fund both grassroots and established media entities.
    In this context, I think how well copyright worked in or before 1978 is quite irrelevant. How better to work in the public favour by giving them more of what they want, rather than which tidbits boardroom executives decide to toss? We are in the process of building a future where we won't have networks which fans of canceled shows can bombard with their nuts, but we can only do that if the little guy is able to retain copyright and thus compete on an equal footing.

    The copyright proposal you advocate will only create a barrier to entry and thus prevent this from occurring.

  2. Re:The're not lizards! by fm6 · · Score: 1 · on WETA Working on Robotic Lizard For Science

    Yes, but they look like lizards. OK, if you look real close there are some interesting differences (no penis!). But reminding people that a tuatara isn't a lizard is sort of like making an issue of the fact that the peanut is actually a kind of bean.

  3. Jericho *was* Nuts by dutch13 · · Score: 2, Informative · on "Jericho" Fans Send Over Nine Tons of Nuts to CBS

    Thankfully, most of the folks fighting for Jericho are not quitters. Jericho is just a television show. Everyone watches television....we just want to watch something that entertains us. We don't want to be spoonfed crap reality tv. I am tired of seeing shows about doctors and lawyers banging each other. I am tired of watching 6 different versions of CSI or Law and Order. I pay for cable, I would like there to be something that makes you anticipate next week's episode.....without it being about who is banging who. Your grandparents grew up and were entertained by serial dramas on the radio......we just want a decent serial drama in our lives. Lost is fine.....but we liked JERICHO and we are fighting for it. If you are satisfied with bashing people on a website....great, more power to you. We, though, are joining together to try and achieve a change. Sit back and snipe from your computer.....or be a part of something. http://nutsonline.com/jericho
