CNN Max is likely to evolve over time. Among the features the company will try out are ways of alerting Max viewers to breaking news while they are watching something else on the service, whether it be an HBO series, a Turner Classic Movies selection or an old episode of Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.”
The enshittification of our world continues unabated.
I think we should return to the original copyright laws we had at the beginning of the 20th century. You had to register something to copyright it. If you did, you had a copyright for 19 years with an option to renew at the end of those 19 years. After that, it was public domain.
38 years is more than long enough to profit off of a work.
Yep, imagine if the old laws applied and someone could just create a cheap streaming site with all the stuff that went into the public domain after 20 years. You’d have multiple streaming sites with the same content just competing on service and price instead of what exclusive content they had.
I would definitely think that having a vast PD library available would reduce piracy.
