Forget movies-- What about TV shows? Last night I watched a whole episode of a British TV show on YouTube and I was grateful for it, as we can't get it here and it WON'T be available on DVD for purchase in America.
And what about people who have projects based on footage from other sources? Dubbing projects, remixes, etc... All will be swept away when the greedy folks decide they deserve a cut, even if the people making them don't profit and actually spend their own valuable time making them for free.
For example, "The Skeletor Show" is pretty good, and wouldn't be possible if Filmation decided they wanted something for the use of the hacked-up episodes of He-Man used in the production of this YouTube favorite. Would Fimation benefit from killing this project? Nope. Nobody's in a hurry to buy old episodes of He-Man, but when used for parody, they have some relevance today... And nobody is making money off them either way.
Jeez. If Timbaland can rip off whole SONGS from regular people on the Internet to "remix" and sell them for mega-profit, then joe schmo on the Internet should be able to rip off scenes from some crappy 80s show and remix them to entertain people for free. The system seems skewed to protect the big guys while making the little guys suffer.
