Ah, just you wait. If ever the analog loophole becomes the dominant way to reproduce copyrighted works, it will be difficult to get a camera without a content-recognition and blocking system.

- wolco2 6y agoVery interesting. It mentions the concept was developed in 2004. I wonder how many versions are affected by this and when they started.
- rietta 6y agoOne of our business processes is to scan checks when customers pay and attach the image as part of the record in QuickBooks. We use a sheet of paper folder to redact the numbers of the bottom of the check. Our scanner refuses to color copy some client checks, namely from a govt agency and a startup. Thankfully we can still copy with grayscale. When this happens, we have to fully power off the scanner and boot it back up again. Best I can tell it's this pattern/hologram that triggers it. For the same reason, I had trouble making a digital copy of my daughter's birth certificate. Before I found the gray scale trick, I ended up taking a photo with our iPhone instead.

- gamblor956 6y agoGenerally, unless the purpose of the image was to disseminate an otherwise copyrighted work contained in the recording, fair use would apply. For example: the famous toddler dancing to Prince video. It recorded a Prince song while the toddler was dancing to it. The primary purpose of the video was to show the toddler dancing, so the recording (and dissemination of the Prince song) was deemed fair use. (There's a bit more to that analysis but that was the gist of it.)
