it not dead stop vs full speed ahead problem

it like if you turned the parking break on in a car, you could still gun the engine and go forward.

you would just move very very slowly

your trying to argue that just because you can move forward the parking break being on doesn't have any effect whatsoever

That bull shit. and you know it.

The way I feel is simple. If I make a movie. I paid for it. It is mine and I own it. I should be allowed to distribute it as I see fit. If I don't want to release it in a certain medium, I should be allowed that luxury. If I don't want a particular country or group of people to have access to it, I should be allowed to restrict access to them. If someone tries to take it without my permission, I should have the right to pursue them legally for that. I see it just like owning a car. I paid for the car. It is my car. I get to decide who drives the car and under what terms that car is driven. Just because I let one person drive the car doesn't mean I have to let everyone.
your mixing property rights with copyright

if you want property rights then so do i

i have no problem with that

buying a video from you would be the same as buying a car

i could build a business renting out that property (avis)
i could tear it apart and sell the pieces (body shops)
if i wanted to tear it apart, duplicate all the parts put it back together and produce a new version (reverse engineering/ competitive intelligence) and build and sell my own version of your video.

and you would have no right to stop me

if that what you want great let get rid of copyright al together have the content covered by standard property right laws

If you think this violates your fair use rights, I don't care. If this upsets you, I don't care. It is my movie. If I don't want you to watch it, that is just too bad for you.

I see movies and music as art as well as a commodity and those who create that art should be allowed to distribute it as they see fit, not as you see fit.
if you sell me a car you don't have a right to tell me what i can do with that car after i bought you got paid

if i want to rent it out i can
if i want to ship it to a foreign country i can
if i want to give it away i can

if you want your movie to be treated like a commodity that actually an arguement to get rid of copyright.

the problem it your trying to argue you should have property right for control copyright give you.

a control that was explictly given to you under the condition you respect my fair use rights.

you want the benefit without meeting your responsiblity of the agreement

why the fuck do you believe that is fair.


btw it not me but the independent court that would have to determine if it fair use or not.

just because you would not win that arguement since you are basically making claims that if applied to established fair uses would have made them illegal too (see your they are not rioting in the streets so it must be ok arguement above)
