I remember in the original Joel run Joel and the original producer Jim Mallon were always arguing. Jim was right.

Once again, legality has nothing to do with this. You're going off on a completely different argument about whether I'm fine with the Star Wars Special Edition, while going on a weird tangent about AI paranoia. Take it to the Star Wars forum where they argue about that stuff. So when books get banned or censored, do they cease to be just because you can't buy them legally at the time? A work of art isn't erased or forever changed permanently just because you can't buy it legally at the time. Any day they could say they are going to release the original Star Wars again and that retroactively wipes out your argument. In the original Star Wars that was shown in theaters Han Solo shot first according to millions of viewers. The original version of Star Wars as shown in theaters was never released. The released version shows something different. BTW that is false. It was released. I had Star Wars on VHS as a kid. And Han shot first. From 1977 to 1997, the original version of Star Wars that was shown in theaters was released on VHS, Laserdisc and RCA VideoDisc. Seriously, at least know your poopie first. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZ86iM7DTWwwww.youtube.com/watch?v=Wdz7u_cBseAOkay, where do I buy it now in a modern format? I brought up AI because that's one of the reasons for the strike.

Find me a legal copy of the original Star Wars or Close Encounters of the First Kind. CEotFK special edition was not the version originally shown in theaters. Movies are changed all the time and the original is not always legally available. Legality has nothing to do with this. Banksy's art is illegal, the product of an art of crime. So it has no value? I can alter a copy of a Banksy and it doesn't replace the original. So you're perfectly fine if the owner of a movie, tv series, book, etc. changes things so much it changes the meaning of the story but only allows people to see the new edited version as long as there are illegal pirated versions available? When people bought physical media, owners couldn't change things on the fly. All on-line digital media can easily be changed whenever the owner wants. In the original Star Wars that was shown in theaters Han Solo shot first according to millions of viewers. The original version of Star Wars as shown in theaters was never released. The released version shows something different. 40 years ago, re-edits like that were rarely done because they were so expensive. With AI, they're trivial. That concerns me. "I can alter a copy of a Banksy and it doesn't replace the original." Replacing an online digital movie does replace the original. You have to have made an illegal copy to see the original version.

The originals still exist. And special editions, bastardizations don't erase the value of the original. Find me a legal copy of the original Star Wars or Close Encounters of the First Kind. CEotFK special edition was not the version originally shown in theaters. Movies are changed all the time and the original is not always legally available.

There's a huge distinct difference between coding and art. There is no "keep using your code". As a teacher put it to me once: code is not gold, it is produce. Produce goes bad and needs to be refreshed. Code continually needs to be updated. If you did sign some kind of royalty contract for your code you wrote, guess what: that code and thus your royalties are going to be GONE next year when someone else has to rewrite or update your code to work with the new versions of Windows and Mac. You really think companies are using the same code originally written to work with Windows 98?? What if you took a job coding and signed a contract where they paid you minimum wage for coding but you got paid a certain amount every year if they kept using the code. You make a decent living. You CAN sign a contract where you get paid a certain amount every year if they keep using code you wrote and they can't change the rules on you. You can do that now. Its called a license. You patent your code and people have to pay you and you make the rules on how you are paid and what they can do with your code. The catch is: it is YOU who has to continually update YOUR code to make sure it works with the latest systems and release those updates. If you don't, they stop licensing your software. Many coders have quit their coding jobs and done this. Hell, I've even worked for someone for a few years who quit his coding job to code his own licensed game engine . But what you are asking for, thats how to you do it, and its because code constantly needs to be rewritten, these days on a yearly basis. However Art is gold, it doesnt change. It never gets rewritten. People are watching the same Godfather movie they did 50 years ago. There may be Director's cut additions, but not one scene or piece of dialogue is replaced or updated. Its the same movie and only appreciates with time. It is gold. Same with MST3K episodes, we are watching the same episodes that were originally first aired back in the 90's and not one joke, not one frame has changed. And they just get appreciated more with time. Meanwhile, all that code that Bob up there wrote while those episodes aired, gone, obsolete, erased from existence. It's like yea, its been over 10 years since you used any of the code I wrote but keep paying money because......? A lot of artistic things work this way. Bands who made an album get paid every time a record or cd was bought or played on the radio. They weren't just paid once. Professional photographers are paid every time their pictures used. You know why Bands who made an album get paid every time a record or cd was bought or played on the radio? You know why that works that way? Because the album doesn't change or get replaced. The Dark Side of the Moon is the same album you heard 50 years ago, not one note or lyric gets replaced or updated by another artist. Btw this is why Taylor Swift is having to re-record all her albums. She is actually updating and replacing all her original albums just so she can own them and make money off them again. So movies don't change? Han Solo shot first. Star Trek TOS had new animation added a few years years ago. And this is going to get worse with AI. Movie's and TV shows will change at the whim of the new owners. That's one of the thing the writers are fighting for. Want to change an anti war movie into a pro war movie, sure that's easy.

Then patent your code so you earn royalties on licensing it out. It doesn't matter whether it's patented, it matters who I wrote it for. I think you mean, I could form my own company and sell my coding services myself. Of course I could, just like an actor or writer could finance and create their own tv show / movie. Right, just like old tv shows and movies get 'replaced' by new ones being made all the time. New ones being acted in and written by new writers and actors. None of your comments actually show a differentiation for why an actor or writer should get some kind of perpetual pay for specific work done when virtually no other job profession does. What if you took a job coding and signed a contract where they paid you minimum wage for coding but you got paid a certain amount every year if they kept using the code. You make a decent living. Then they change the rules. They no longer will keep paying you if they keep using your code but when you ask for a raise they say no. You look for another job but all coding jobs work the same way. A lot of artistic things work this way. Bands who made an album get paid every time a record or cd was bought or played on the radio. They weren't just paid once. Professional photographers are paid every time their pictures used.
