[QUOTE="TheSword, post: 9554382, member: 6879661"] It’s worth noting that in the original Sly Flourish video on the issue. He makes it clear that it wasn’t a copyright strike, it was just a nice request to ask politely if he could blur some sections out. He want threatened or attacked. If that kind of relationship amounts to an offensive act then I’m just not sure what people’s expectations are. At some point the folks getting review copies decided that displaying page by page, readable quality images would be considered acceptable. The level of entitlement there is just off the charts. Can you imagine that happening in any other creative work. What’s next? Reviews of audio books that involve playing the entire audio book first? What about high res images of an artists painting? Let’s make sure a film or theatre review has a full length recording. After all if the show only runs for a week then we can’t have any FOMO. What is more sinister is that at least some of the content creators must have known it was going to push boundaries of what was acceptable. There must have been a nagging voice in the back of their head saying am I going too far here? Is this respectful of someone else’s work? They either didn’t care or justified it to themselves as some kind of Robin Hood action. When you stop caring whether you harm the host you go from being a symbiote to a parasite. [/QUOTE]
