U.S. Senators Introduce SMART Copyright Act to Combat Piracy
I think I&#x27;m more anti-piracy than the average person and despite bitwize being downvoted to oblivion, they are right. You aren&#x27;t entitled to anything anyone creates.<p>However, piracy is also 100% a service problem that has been exacerbated by everyone creating their own streaming services and I&#x27;m actually really curious how Amazon, Netflix, and Disney get away with &quot;exclusive content.&quot; The US vs Paramount Pictures[1] decided that you can&#x27;t have exclusive theaters that are owned by production companies yet it is entirely fine if they have streaming exclusives. If anything, this is an indicator that the laws haven&#x27;t kept up and need to be updated to probably apply to streaming as well.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;United_States_v._Paramount_Pictures,_Inc" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;United_States_v._Paramount_Pic...</a>.
