Pirate broadcast: how did I get away with it?

Regarding The Image and all the R-rated movies: they're obscure and none of the multinational entertainment conglomerates care too much about who 'owns' them. The method that Facebook uses to detect videos is to compare them to the master files that the companies have. So, if it's not in their memory banks, or if it's altered enough (ie cutting credits), then they're not aware. Or, at least, that's how it was for the first month or two. After a certain point, I think that the RIAA or someone else must have been tipped off, and the number of mutings and challenges increased gradually. Plus I wrote all that stuff about fair use laws and not-for-profit, both of which were true, though it was also a pitch. I'm guessing that after the Dakumentary Ads, they decided it was a different kettle of fish. This, of course, is only about American media. I could've posted NZ on Screen or Aussie or Canadian or UK stuff forever imo. - Meme culture fundamentally altered the copyright relationship. It's normalised taking small clips from media pieces and recontextualising them, which I think made the old anti-piracy arguments feel quaint. AMPP was essentially that, but on a much larger scale. I mean, look at the outcome: I haven't been extradited to the US to face charges in their federal courts, and that's what would've happened 20 years ago. Instead, my page and all the pirated data got deleted, and I got 3 days in Facebook jail. Hell, I could probably do it again...
