I think this is great, we should add a licensing clause for this, if you work for a subsidiary of an MPAA member you have to check a box to get the Hollywood edition else you are not entitled to use the software, perhaps even a Hollywood IP database for internet companies.
If Hollywood execs had to sit through 5 minutes of ads to use Google they'd soon get the message.
Anyone have any ideas on how to get the IP blocks of MPAA member companies? Is there anything better than just whois'ing every class A/B/C?
I'm thinking of a javascript that creates a black modal dialog with a youtube video queue of startup video ads. Use the chromeless video player, I'll even max the volume for them.
Simple one line addition to your site and voila your startup/site/blog is Hollywood Edition.
- mishmash 15y ago> Anyone have any ideas on how to get the IP blocks of MPAA member companies? It's been tried before. Maintaining the list is very difficult for the exact same reasons that would have made PIPA/SOPA technically inept. e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PeerGuardian http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PeerGuardian
- cookiecaper 15y agoSuch lists continue in wide use. Of course they are not foolproof, but it does help.
- notatoad 15y agopeerguardian and it's ilk don't help at all. they make uninformed people feel safer.
- alexgemmell 15y agoIs that true? Could you let me know where you got that info from so I can check for myself? Thanks!
- lordlicorice 15y agoAlso it's definitely a shotgun approach, and tons of innocent people would be affected. For example, bluetack's most conservative list level1 (http://www.iblocklist.com/list.php?list=bt_level1 http://www.iblocklist.com/list.php?list=bt_level1) includes any organization with significant intellectual property.
