If you're waiting in a hot tin shed in the outback for a movie
that ain't gonna screen because some bushwhacker has held up
Cobb's coach, well it's time to call in Mel Gibson.
Slightly more seriously there's a hot political potato that's s'posed
to provide humungous bandwidth to large parts of Oz, and that
will provide actual internet to many parts that don't have it yet,
unless from satellite. So yes movies are still for many people
physical objects, 5.25 inch discs instead of reels of celluloid,
but the meme slips so easily onto tha intarwebs that it'll take
a vigilant administrator of justice to catch it.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

If Hollywood would use Creative Common's Licenses, with
Digital Metatag, then what?
Remember, a creative commons License has 3 parts,
- simple readable part
- more complex legal read part for multiple jusidictions
- digital metatag (
Key is the digital metatag that can not be changed without
being in violation of the DMCA.
Key also is the ditital metatag that can be sorted, and
filtered, meaning that the flow of "creative commons works"
with an unaltered digital metatag, could protect Hollywood's
interests in 2 ways... copyright (as the creative commons
license is based on copyright law), and marketing, where
they could have parts of their movies be used, snippets
maybe, with a more free creative commons license, where this
could be a wonderful marketing tool for them. Some book
authors do this, where they give away a part of the book,
say a chapter or two, freely with a creative commons license
that allows such free use and sharing, BUT, the rest of the
book then falls under a more restrictive, copyright or
creative commons license (that needs to be bought and paid
for).

Well, if you remember the Simpson's episode about their visit to Oz, "Bart
vs. Australia", you'll remember the envelope with the stamp proudly
proclaiming "30 years of electricity". As we all know, this is an
entirely accurate portrayal, and as such, is proof that there IS no internet
downunder, therefore it is impossible for strayans to be stealing movies via the
web, let alone taking the only physical copies kept in Hollywood.
I mean, how are they even supposed to be able to get to the US - bark canoes
with crocs strapped on the sides as outriggers? I suppose they could use a mob
of homing Galahs who break into the buildings and then a flock of budgies
smuggle them back.
So basically, the media drongos muster into the High Court bleating about how
Ned Kelly used metal plates to prevent capture, so we should shut down all the
iron ore mines, or some bushranger got away on horseback after a robbery, so we
should sue the people who made the bush tracks he used to escape, or the galoots
who put up road signs telling people where the town is ( and therefore the
bank/s ).

Wait !! those guys are stealing copyrights, not content. It's
"Copyright Theft" Do they have to rob the copyright bank vault to
get them?
Are Australian copyright certificates like money orders or
something? Just fill in the blank where it says "owner"?
I have to say that
those Aussies are incredibly creative. Where some folks would steal copyrighted
materiel, these guys are stealing the actual copyrights !! [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
