You can't plug every hole in the dam, while a guy down the row is busy opening up a few new holes. However what you can do, is realize that people are willing to use your site only (cbs.com) to view old episodes of shows where you can exert full control over what advertisements they see, and whether they have to make a micropayment and so on. What doesn't work in today's environment, is stating that the sole way of obtaining the content is through an exorbitantly priced single hard-to-access channel. The channel of choice today is the online channel and publishers need to figure out how to work with it, to both protect their copyright AND provide access. Some publishers have figured it out, some are idiots and deserve what they get. The simplest way to stop bootlegging, is to provide access at a reasonable cost. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
