I think there's a middle ground. It's not all or nothing.

We can have million dollar studios without having a billion dollar studio.

That's true, which also illustrates how absurd the big paychecks are with your post in mind.

Sure.

The premise is to bring down costs, and not be free. This is a reality where we can share media we buy, because we own them again.

So you can kind of imagine the world 20-30 years back with VHS and DVDs. Just in the digital world.

Fewer people would buy the content, and less shareholders will be rich. Actors will also not go for multi million dollar salaries. But actors would still exist.

You can argue that this will bring down the number of movies, but most likely there will just be alot of small studios making movies instead of Netflix and Disney controlling the market from start to end.

There will be a much larger varaity in movies, and not that many reboots of past succes from the VHS/DVD age.

Sometimes it's hard to imagine a reality outside our own.

They just love whoever pays the most. And they cheat on everyone while getting paychecks from all directions.

Fun fact about military-grade.

It means jack shit. It's a marketing buzz word, and should be illegal to use in commercial sense.

Yeah, I was just curious if the app could harvest it anyway via the SDK or something.

Can you use an open source weather app, or is the problem deeper than that?

What's legal today might be illegal tomorrow. Short sighted comment.

That's a fair point. Maybe this "feature" is hard to implement with all countries agreeing on the taxing.

But their might be a limit to how much you can send without being taxable.

This is also a minor feature. As long as it's possible within country borders, it would be fine 98% of the time.

It was un-american 50 years ago.

The only thing changed right now is the idiot in charge, who just spills it all, because no one can stop him. Even though it's a democracy.. Right?..
