Who’s Joan? My Netflix only has a Madison_rogue is awful episode.

But in all seriousness, the tech is here and it’s here to stay. Legal stuff can curb it for a bit, but you know internet. It’s only going to grow.

There should be some other way to deal with it besides “Forbid everything now!”.

I’ve seen several future copyright systems being discussed which might provide a better way of doing things going forward. Like the one where all copyright is basically waived, but royalties are collected and distributed to all participants from any derivative work. Want to make a star wars fan movie? You’re free to do so (and everyone is), but every actor you use and every writer whose part of the lore you’re using gets a small cut from whatever to earn on it (so non-profit derivative work doesn’t require paying royalties, similar to parodies in the US).

Kinda like sampling in music currently works. Could be a better system than what we currently have, with corporations owning hundreds of years of usage for one story or likeness.
