that doesn't change the fact that the commentary "this is my favorite dance routine" is just as valid as any other commentary.

the lack of originallity doesn't do one thing to invalidate the commentary.




go back and look at the testimony of JV when the mpaa was trying to convince congress to outlaw the VCR.

they predicted that every single tv show would be cancelled because ad would be skipped by people taping all their shows

they found new revenue streams. and now the home viewing marketplace exceed all other sales COMBINED.
I watched the video. I have no problems with it but like i said, that kind of thing is the minority. How does your example in any way address what the majority of 'sharing' is doing?

And yeah, these people are old and don't like change. The vcr created a whole new market. I believe digital content can too but not at the hands of any kid who throws up a torrent site or tube site and shares it with millions giving the content creator absolutely nothing besides exposure.
