That’s not what you’re saying. You’re saying that a content producer should never be allowed to distribute on their own site and that you as a software developer, author, music producer, etc should not be allowed to distribute your own work.
- bawolff 3y agoI don't think anyone is saying that. Just because an extreme version of an idea is way too much, doesn't mean the more moderate versions are without merit.
- scarface_74 3y agoWhat is a non extreme version of not letting content producers distribute thier own content and where do you draw the line?
- bawolff 3y agoLine would be drawn at operating a distribution business for profit. That wouldn't prevent you from putting your own stuff on your own website. Other ideas in this vein include things like requiring non-discrimantory licensing agreements (no "netflix" only licenses)
- scarface_74 3y agoSo now no content producer is ever allowed to sell thier own content on thier own website?
- Eisenstein 3y agoThat's correct. You have it nailed down. Any regulations that can be conceptualized are exactly what you say they are. We decided to make child labor illegal so now there are no children working on family farms, no children working in their family stores, and everyone under 18 is not allowed to work at all. We mandated safety in workplaces so now every person has to wear a respirator and a hard hat even in office jobs. Your obviously completely honest arguments are completely right and there is no room at all for anything but the most extreme possible position.
- scarface_74 3y agoI am still waiting where do you draw the line and tell someone that they can’t sell the content that they produce on thier own website?

- Eisenstein 3y agoYou got an answer two comments up that you ignored.
- scarface_74 3y agoYou didn’t come up with concrete guidelines for when the content creator should not be allowed to sell content on their own site. Are we also going to block foreign content owners from selling their content to US citizens? You haven’t thought through the consequences of giving the government more power in limiting what people can do on the web.
