This ... Vidangel changed their technology.

The law is pretty clear that yes you can skip, but you can't alter.

The problem in editing movies/TV without permission is that you do not own them.

False

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.

FrankenCoug

1/25/22 9:34am

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

runnincoug

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

Nikomedes

1/25/22 9:38am

VidAngel and ClearPlay are both just fast forwards and mutes

Clearplay does streaming now as well. I know a group was working

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

Doogal McCougar

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

Nikomedes

1/25/22 9:35am

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

supertux

1/25/22 9:38am

It does not. It alters the streaming file

Nikomedes

1/25/22 9:41am

No, it doesn't.

supertux

1/25/22 9:42am

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.

runnincoug

1/25/22 9:32am

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

Nikomedes

1/25/22 9:41am

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

runnincoug

What an awful take - wow.

Swish

1/25/22 9:31am

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

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

novacoug1

1/25/22 9:43am

And again, those are edits authorized by the companies

Nikomedes

1/25/22 9:44am

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

I haven’t pirated music since I was in college. Not even close to “most of my

So if I only watch half of the movie it's unethical?

ochobeeguy

1/25/22 9:48am

How much are the studios paying you to shill for them?

MetaLearner

The purpose is to just make fun of people who don't want nudity and swearing

1/25/22 10:04am

Such a weird reason to look down on others. "Hey you, watch more smut!"

runnincoug

1/25/22 10:10am

It’s actually possible to be someone who wants to avoid those things while also

russkiejedi

Interesting. I’m the exact opposite

You are however allowed to buy a Stephen King book and mark it up all you want for your own personal use.

You could even hire someone to mark up the book for you

End users can extensively mod games to remove and add content and it’s totally
