RE: Why I am Upvoting @chainflix
Netflix pays the content owners
Indeed, this is despite the widespread accessibility of content online and common use of piracy. Even pirates use Netflix, paying content creators. They do it voluntarily.
Let Hollywood try and fight us. We will have to fight the financial industry too, which is so much more powerful than Hollywood. Might as well get started. Anti-fragility only develops when we experience stress.
I figure you might want to delay the fight with big copyright until DTube and Steem are hardened. Right now, Dtube is a single point of failure. Ipfsstore.it is a single point of failure. ipfs.io is another weak point. There's things on the ipfs that will be less breakable, but not right now.
It's only under the stress of attack that we are likely to change and become hardened to it. Perhaps Hollywood is too big to invite to attack us early, but I do think it is better to experience the initiation of legal attacks sooner rather than later.
I also think that one of the best ways to resist attack is to be ubiquitous. If disabling the Steem Blockchain or IPFS content hosts was akin to disabling Facebook or Twitter, there would be mass uproar as it impacts so many people directly.
I have nothing more to add. See you around.
I understand were you coming from. No change without fight. But are we ready for the fight? I would have waited for a bit, let the decntralised platforms become stringer than they are now with lesser provocative content. And then take on the fight, or maybe as an interim, invite the content owners to start publishing on these channels, with a cool service around it for them for which they pay dearly! I beleive in connecting to old industry with the new services and technologies by building big bridges, and those bridges will be paid for by the commercial old industry. At some point in time when the old industry is moved more and more across the bridge, I think the time is ripe to accelerate the walk across the bridge for all these businesses (and consumers) to enter the new world.
