@SamUpstate @rose I have exactly zero respect for the movie and music publishing industries after the filesharing lawsuits. I fully endorse the behavior of the tens of millions of people who sank the RIAA lawsuits by never buying another CD. No copyright law could force those who had landlines and traceable IP addresses to consume any content.

I cannot be found without help from at least the cops if not the FBI due to no landline, no contract phones, no credit cards for phone service (cash only) and never sharing my name with anyone's customer service. On the other hand, I do not have the bandwidth for long form video in general. My half hour long year end videos in 960x540p are about the limit. Archive.org has trouble streaming anything larger in resolution and I refuse to use ad supported video hosting sites for my published work. I would sooner host it myself than allow ads.

Yes, I shoot video and even release some very complex videos, notably my annual "year in activism" videos that can have hundreds of clips, as many captions, and some complex editing for special effects. On the one that comes out end of this year, I had only a still of torched police motorcycles in Atlanta for the Weelaunee Forest Defenders's July 1 attack on the current police academy there. I composited that with flames from my mother's old fireplace to reconstruct the image of burning police motorcycles and have video rather than a still. The only actors in news video are the politicians of course.

I operate on a "zero subscription/zero ads" model, and to the extent possible boycott monetized content and sites. A strike like this can turn it from a soft "avoid" to a hard boycott. I don't want my money crossing picket lines.
