It’s also total bullshit how they can just film in a public street and include anyone that happens to pass by in their movie without paying them, in fact they won’t even warn you if you’re about to walk into a shoot and definitely won’t respond to requests to remove your face if you end up in the final movie. But as soon as a famous person’s face gets shown they demand royalties and can even force people to destroy footage of them.
So what they’re saying is VCRs ruined everything.
… Or video killed the radio star?

Great article. I highly recommend Corey Doctorow’s book called ‘Enshittification’ for more on this phenomenon
This isn’t really enshittification, though. People used to always have the right to self repair. That right got curtailed once it became a threat to profit margins.
This is a law issue.
more like a capitalism issue
private ownership caused the issue? so you dont see this happening if the government was in charge of everything?
enshittification would be a non issue without the profit motive.
If you read the book, the post will make much more sense
The book is a deep dive into intellectual property law?
