| Then old things shall become new again. And people may get the first taste of a world they have sought all of their young lives, and rejoice in a world recorded in media they may not understand: before default-irony, before default-sarcasm; many will not care for it, but perhaps some will delight that there is many lifetimes of media hiding there, on the bookshelf of humanity, covered in dust and ready to consume |

| Physical releases are having a Renaissance at the moment actually. See Vinegar Syndrome, for example. |

| Unless they beam it into our brains we will find ways to rip it. Even if it means recording it with a camera. Then cameras will have content id. But you can't stop the signal. |

| ▲ | Carrok 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | By that point? There already is and has been for years. Many more life times worth of movies and shows than any one person could ever hope to watch. | | |
| ▲ | tavavex an hour ago | parent [-] | | If we're going just off of the total runtime of all films ever produced, that point was probably already reached before WW2. But that's not entirely relevant, because an average person won't be equally interested in watching everything. There could still be increasingly small niches to fill. |

I already hear your wheels turning, thinking machine learning will provide a way to remove the ads from the content, but as the AI labs start to control all the compute they will assuredly insert their own ads into what you tried to remove. | | |
| ▲ | Carrok 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Why would anyone need machine learning to edit a video? There are dozens or hundreds of free open source video editing programs. Only one person needs to edit the ads out. | | |
| ▲ | cogman10 an hour ago | parent [-] | | There's ffmpeg, you can do the editing from the commandline (I have done it that way :) ) |
| |
| ▲ | cogman10 an hour ago | parent | prev [-] | | It takes 2 seconds for a human to remove an ad from media. It happens so fast there are even browser plugins (sponsorblock) which crowdsource removing sponsorship plugs from youtube videos. You can do it with ffmpeg losslessly with pretty much any media. The only thing that's hard to remove is sponsorships built into the script (brought to you by snapple), but people don't tend to like that sort of thing in a show. |

| No? The various sites are chock full of web rips of streaming-only media. There is literally no way to prevent ripping. |

| Piracy sites also have webrips that never seem to be poor quality. |

| While that may be true, none of the major DRM schemes seem to get in the way of a scene release |
