[A] "social contract" that would void copyright for all internet content [...]

----Seems like this was more than a copyright strike by a single copyright holder of something they'd sampled. A blanket takedown would have to come from something bigger, such as the RIAA, NARAS, one of the performance rights agencies, etc. Plus, normally a for-profit firm such as a label has better/more lucrative things to do with their time and money than chasing 'small fish'. The RIAA especially, though, has little to no problem with stomping the crap out of any-and-everyone they see fit to do so. They also tend to represent the more conservative/boring/doctrinaire aspects of the mainstream industry and seem to creep out from under their rock every time the mainstream is losing money due to their own failure(s) at judging the audience's tastes. Like, say, right now, since there seems to be a bad turn against the uncreative, manufactured-type pop garbage and cookie-cutter radio-friendly dreck out there. In short, when the labels feel unloved, they send their goon squad out for blood and money instead of looking at what they perceive as a 'problem' as more of a creative opportunity.-- Lugia909 ビコジン協会/Alcool 682 years ago
