For all we know, in 5 years you could ask an AI to "reproduce the entire Supernatural TV show but change the character names, dialog and look just enough to bypass copyright issues - 7 seasons, 24 episodes each MP4 format"



Is anybody going to want to watch it other than the one who ordered it? Would anyone order this modified version before having paid for and enjoyed the original? If the market is flooded with these cheap copies, wouldn't the original have even more value for authenticity?


Seven seasons? I thought you said reproduce the entire show? 37 seasons :D


I see we have a fan of that show! :)


(All IMHO) Which is great! Copyright is stupid and it is time we derogated that 350 old law which at this point is stifling innovation.

As I said in another thread: Sorry if your 40 hour work won't pay you $10 bucks a month forever. That's the case for most of the rest of us: we produce for 40 hours, we get paid for those 40 hours, regardless of what we do. Welcome to the club!!
