@feliks Careful, or the media companies will start investing into giant rolling boulders and poison dart traps, and things will get real very quickly. :)

@ticho to protect the media they already lost track of? ;)

@feliks I can certainly imagine the Disney Vault being protected by such elaborate traps. :)

@feliks @quinn This, yes. IP protection should only apply to things that are legally available for purchase for reasonable price. Same goes for newly released stuff: staggered releases make no sense whatsoever in the age of digital delivery.

@feliks I consider this even worse. Media that is not offered on my streming service is worth downloading.
Oh you want me to pay for the movie?
Well I do with my streming subscription.
You want to sell me your streming service?
No thanks just make your movie available on the platform I have. *clicks download button*

@feliks I agree with this point, but Indiana Jones was a looter so it kinda undermines the point being made..

@feliks for some of us it's always been 'archiving', glad to see the younger gen catching on to that :)

@feliks both are the same in my eyes: freeing art and knowledge from those who would hold it hostage for profit.

@feliks Anyone “pirating” goods from a merchantman, while the original goods remain in place untouched, is no pirate. They are a multiplication magician, like Jesus.

@feliks @breizh 💯 Years ago, I searched an old tv serie of 1964 (black & white)… I couldn’t found it (even by buying it), was a pain to search, but finally found it on T411…

100% archaeology.

In France there is the case of the movie "le Grand détournement : la classe américaine". It was a command from Warner for the paid TV channel canal+. It was only broadcast once, and the Warner refused to have it rebroadcast or sold on DVDs.
It is made of snippets from various Warner movies stitched together with comedic dialogue added.
Digitised versions of VHS recording circulated for a while on P2P, and then one guy went looking for each and every scene on 1/2

DVDs of the original material and remade all the video editing with high res images, keeping the dialogues from VHS. This is what you can find now quite easily in french torrent sites.
No official copy exists, but the movie still lives, and that is great!

Seems Warner was not happy with the team's sense of humour, so they didn't want this film to exist.
