It would be better for consumers if productions were available through more outlets rather than fewer, so yes.

- scarface_74 3y agoYou didn’t answer the question , are you really saying that it should be illegal for any content producer to distribute their own content on their own website? I’m assuming you would apply those same standards to software developers, writers, song writers and any video content?
- hotnfresh 3y agoWhy would you assume any of that? So it’s easier to dismiss the notion?
- scarface_74 3y agoSo which content producers are you going to tell it’s illegal to distribute their own content on their own website?
- hotnfresh 3y agoFilm and tv studios. Selling is fine, but no rental or subscription streaming. Basically the same as the no-owning-movie-theaters rule. Idea’s to force streaming services to compete on service quality, not content exclusivity.
- scarface_74 3y agoSo what qualifies as a studio is any content producer a studio? And now you’re going to make a law that says content creators can’t sell subscriptions to their content? Does this also count for OnlyFans? Why is video special? Why only say video producers can’t have subscriptions to their own content but writers can? And the law that you are referring to is no longer a thing
- bear141 3y agoSeems like the easy answer is not to remove anyone’s ownership over their own content or their rights to distribute it on their own or however they want, but rather to also force them to release on something central as well.
- scarface_74 3y agoWould you also “force” software makers to distribute their content - including GPL software? Also who determines the terms for which licensing agreements have to be made? Does that apply to all video producers?
- bear141 3y agoI don’t agree with forcing anyone to do anything with something they have created. It just seemed like that’s what they were asking for as a consumer.
