#Piracy is a #Service Problem.

Piracy will exist as long as #corporate #greed will exist.

• As long as media will be #overpriced, #delisted, #pulled from shelves or get #OutOfPrint, Piracy will be inevitable.

If it was my decision #Copyright and #patents would be contingent on the #media / #technology being produced and offered for sale.

• In fact I think every #claim for #losses should be tossed by any #judge whenever there was no #legal way to obtain a new copy of some content.

Espechally since we live in the #AgeOfAbundance and nowadays the cost for distributing even a #AAA #Game or #Movie is merely the cost of #Storage and #Bandwith, so at worst a whole Euro if we're talking #PayAsYouGo - #Akamai with no minimums to get stuff distributed.

• We'd be in the single digit cents if we use #P2P technology like #BitTorrent and #IPFS to keep stuff available.

Dear #lazyweb,
There was a cool website which automatically creates a tutorial from a video by simply extracting key screenshots and writing the transcript next to it. I forgot the name though... Anybody remember it?
