How much are the studios paying you to shill for them?
I can't believe people still have these kinds of takes.

Have you read the text of the Act itself? It allows only “imperceptible” changes
Nikomedes
1/25/22 9:32am
I have not. I just know clearplay is legal despite whatever you are saying.

Clearplay is clearly legal, and has a long track record and precedent.

Clearplay is different and amounts to simple fast forward/rewind features on DVD

VidAngel and ClearPlay are both just fast forwards and mutes

"making imperceptible" focuses on the *viewer*, not the changes to the movie

Yep and don't you dare skip forward or rewind. If they wanted the movie to jump around like that they would have filmed

Fast forwarding and rewinding are specific exemptions in the Act. Removing and

Oh good because Vidangel just skips forward and mutes. Both of which are legitimate. Nice!

It does not. It alters the streaming file
Nikomedes

No, it doesn't.

It's not removed. It's just skipped, the same as hitting +10 secs.

In your story of the book, once I buy it I can modify as I wish. Once I pay for Netflix there is no harm in removing

Yeah, his example is backward. You can cut up a painting or book you own.

Do what you wish to your own copy of the book, but you do not own the content.

I can pay a neighbor to cut up my novel if I want, which is the same as paying

Its semantics. Are they editing? Or skipping? Eg. fast forwarding.

Disney and the big studios have no problem altering content for China or Saudis

And again, those are edits authorized by the companies

I think VidAngel is dumb, but if the content owners are being compensated, great

You must have a valid Netflix, Prime, Apple+ subscription to watch on VidAngel
