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? ;-)
