Been Thinking about Copyright Lately.
I have a copy of Avatar in my brain. Admittedly, it's a bad copy- worse than the worst Russian screener out there. What can I legally do with my Avatar copy?
What if stood in a town square and vividly recreated the movie for a crowd of fans- using my brain-copy to make funny voices and pantomimes and such. Is that a breach of copyright?
I can imagine a future wherein you have to pay a subscription fee if you want to retain the copy of a movie in your brain- don't pay and the movie is scrubbed from your memory.
Copy-protection would be a neural block to prevent me from relating the story of a movie to friends:
"It was so awesome, first the ngyyayayaya!" (biting tongue and convulsing)

peggedbeait would only be beneficial to them if they only erased any negative impressions from your brain.
afterall, word of mouth is the best advertising.
choggie...annnd it always has been peggybea, that's the how and why it grossed over a billy in the last month er two worldwide....that's why one need only copyright, that what makes the knuckle-draggers JUMP!
campionidelmondoI remember when I was a kid I used to tape movies that were running on TV as well as songs from the radio. I suppose that could be considered "piracy" as well nowadays, but back then there wasn't that much fuzz about it. I mean that's what VCR's were for. Couldn't watch something at the time it was playing, you'd tape it for later viewing(s).
Never had one but they had VCR'S that automatically cut out the commercials. If I'm not mistaken that's what TiVo's do? So how come storing shows and movies on your TiVo is legal but downloading them off the net is copyright infringement.
Btw, I'd love to see you reenact Avatar in some town square. I think it would be a hit. Of course you'd have to play all the parts yourself, maybe fashion costumes out of blue garbage bags. Someone would have to tape it, too. It's got #1 Sift written all over it
Farhad2000Wait.
You'd actually let corporations access to your brain memory functions?

dagComment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
^I'm going to ignore that Ballmer boy up there.
A mate and I were talking about this- and had an idea on how it will work in the future. If you want to get a "brain copy" of any form of media- you'll have to pay. So that means you would have "stations" that would play only music that you've never heard before. Once you've taken your brain copy, you're free to listen to it where ever and however many times you want.
jwrayCopyright is like trying to carry sand in a sieve.
