  • They are marked as general but when you click or tap through it’s obvious most of them aren’t

    Edit: Also, I thought this was a domain change not migrating the users. If they really are migrating users then that would explain why it’s taking so long. But why show the server as verified and available during the process.

    I think someone not used to these things would see ‘Coming Soon’ and just leave it as not launched yet.






  • Copyright is odd, if I make a hammer then the person who buys it can hammer away making things they can sell for profit, modify the hammer, make another similar one or give it away or rent it out without any restriction. But I might have patent on the design and I might have copyright on the logo.

    If I make a film of me making the hammer then copyright applies and even if they buy the film from me they can’t do with it what they want and probably have to pay me more to show it.

    What I’m saying is that I think we need to rethink and simplify copyright. It’s simply not right that children couldnt (up to 2015) sing Happy Birthday at a party without paying the rights holder for the tune.



  • I think you’re right, Amazon has seemingly done well with Picard and Lower Decks (outside of the US) so it’s possible that they will want to add another Star Trek.

    Paramount’s big mistake is having poor availability (taking too long to roll out Paramount+ and then having staggered release dates for shows in different areas) and complicated distribution arrangements that means they make less money.

    In essence they treated streaming like DVD/Blu-Ray distribution which negates the benefits of streaming to the consumer.
