Ok. I understand that. Maybe I am getting upset over nothing, but when it comes to shutting down people who copy small clips and snippets from movies, it seems that the industry also shows no mercy.
It would be interesting for press coverage. "Well, in real life of course, they'd check with legal. But you can in fact reuse many images because of free licensing etc NASA public domain blah blah." Might provide a useful educational hook.
Let's look at this with the glass half full:
This time, we already did the deal, but in future, couldn't we ask people to do stuff like a "the Smurfs explain Free Licensing" PSA in return? ;-)
And if you don't smurf smurfs, surely we could smurf something smurfy like this in the next deal to smurf along? ;-)
