Centralization loses. Publicly available content loses. A global community loses. Individuals are too many, faster and more clever than any one company can ever imagine to outmaneuver, it just means our shared internet culture becomes more localized and hidden.
- baroffoos 8y agoI'm fairly sure this will mean more centralization as youtube will be the only one able to comply with the laws and everyone else will be locked out.
- spaceribs 8y agoI'm fairly certain YouTube wasn't around when I traded external HDs full of movies/tv shows with my high school friends.
- AnthonyMouse 8y agoAnd that's the problem. Piracy decentralizes easily -- it has been that way since before the internet was even common. What these rules do is destroy user generated content. Because your external HD can hold every Hollywood blockbuster in the last five years but it's nowhere near big enough for all the user generated content on YouTube.
