Okay, when is there going to be an in depth documentary series about EVE, I mean Ken Burns Style but maybe a couple of season because so much has gone in this space. Constantly every year I read or hear about some EPIC Battle/Betrayal going on in this little realm of the gaming world.
I would support an effort to remove the copyright protections of all works that were created before Jan 01 2001. Making all works from the last century available for not only the current generation but an actual gift for future generations. All those works no matter the idea would now be re-imagine,expounded upon, improve, and distributed wider for all peoples. There is fundamental no reason to at all to keep such works under such protection it only hinders the growth of culture,society and humanity.
As well as supporting efforts to repeal these century long protections of bodies of work by many organization mention in the comment section.
I would love to see eventually a solid research analysis of this data dump that maps out the social interactions of these Sony Exces ie: politicians, each other, other members of the movie industry..etc. Plus how much money Sony is spending in the political arena and the ROI for Sony Inc.
On the one hand, it would be nice. Enrons e-mail data dumps have been used to this effect for the past decade, especially to show proof of technologies.
On the other hand the Sony data dump, like previous data dumps on Wikileaks, was illegally obtained. Researchers analyzing and publishing it would be putting themselves at legal risk by doing so.
Illegaly obtnaied data is kind of a silly thing. If it's out there and it's real does it really matter how it was obtained? Does it affect the data validity? Why wouldn't people be able to analyse it? Nobody could go to jail because of it, after all. To make it illegal to analyse it and disclose the findings is really silly.
Like I said, nobody would go to jail because of the data, even when everybody knows it is the real deal. But to prosecute people who analyse the data and publish the findings is going too far, IMO. Nobody is( or should be) prosecuting journalists for publishing the same kind of data, the same goes for everybody else.
