I'm trying to play through the implications of some software I've been thinking about maybe designing.
It's legal to make a digital copy of the media that you own (videos, audio) physical copies of. It's legal to give a physical copy of your media to someone else or loan it out, which transfers your viewing license while they have It. Then it should also be legal to let someone else use a digital copy of your media given that you don't also use it at the same time. So as long as you keep track of your license, you should be able to let exactly one person stream some media you own.
If someone else then "steals" that content and views it without a license then that has to be legally on them, otherwise streaming platforms would be liable whenever someone cracks some DRM.
So then, it should be completely legal to set up a local community media library streaming service where you can share content you own licenses to as long as you track your license count and don't let more people stream at any given time than there are licenses available.
Is there something obvious I'm missing (aside from the MPAA and RIAA don't care about the law and will just sue anyone they can just to make an example)?

Dear Restaurants:
Frying your own chips does not 'elevate' your nachos. It makes them a greasy mess that reheat even more poorly than before.
Buy store brand corn chips. Use those. It will in fact be better. You do not need to even spring for Frito-Lay products or anything. Just Do. Not. Fry. Your. Own. Chips.
Please spend the novelty points on things like goat cheese and fun aiolis. Not the chips.
Sincerely,
Me.

Random thought: humans view trees as vulnerable because they can't move out of the way of danger. But consider:
1. A single tree can produce tens of thousands of offspring.
2. Many of those seeds can remain dormant and viable for millennia.
3. Some living trees survive fit millennia themselves.
4. Trees vastly outnumber humans, maybe up to 100:1.
5. Many seeds die, but those that don't have found a niche that supplies them everything they need without having to move.
In contrast, humans:
1. Only produce a few dozen offspring at most. Barely replace their own population.
2. Cannot remain dormant once birthed.
3. Only survive for a century tops. Can only reproduce for maybe half that time.
4. So few of us. Individual humans live hundreds of feet apart, or at least dozens even in the densest cities.
5. Need to constantly burn energy moving around for their next meal. Could starve and die at any time in just a few days if they can't find water.
At a species level, the survival of humans begins to look much more perilous than the survival of many tree species.
Also I forgot to add:
6. Humans kill *each other* all the time. What the fuck humans?!? We have made ourselves our own biggest threat.
Trees do compete locally for water and sunlight and thus do kill each other, but only via circumstance, not intentionally.

Content warning: re: bitcoin conference report
A panel on bitcoin treasury companies.
Because investment law makes it hard for institutions to buy bitcoin in their funds. You can't own BTC in you tax free ISA. So some companies that do hold bitcoin, notably microstrategy, became proxy investments. If you can't hold BTC you could maybe own a company that owns BTC instead.
Microstrategy started because it's ceo realized it's dollar treasury was being debased by dollar printing. So tried buying BTC instead, with fantastic success.
Copycat companies proliferated. They boomed and then busted. One panelist calls that a grift. A way to memeticly pump share price.
A line can be drawn between profitable companies just storing their profit in bitcoin Vs those raising debt to buy without having a profitable business.
Imagine a world transiting from using seashells for money to using gold coins. A company gathers seashells from investors to buy gold coins, which will do better than sea shells. Trouble is the next step where the company pays back it's investors with... More seashells.
If you own shares in the company, you do not own bitcoin. You'll just get more old fashioned bank money.
Still. It's worked as marketing, more people being convinced BTC has value.
If you do buy a treasury company, check it's bitcoin not "digital assets" including shitcoins.

No violence but state violence.

Donald Trump has bizarrely claimed he didn’t approve of the massive ICE raid of a Hyundai manufacturing plant in Georgia.
“I was very much opposed,”
the MAGA leader told reporters aboard Air Force One,
en route to Japan as part of his wider diplomatic tour of Asia.
Hyundai is a major South Korean car manufacturer.
On Oct. 29, Trump will meet with its President, Lee Jae Myung, who has previously blasted the raid.
She warned the action would have severe con…

“The assault by the Trump administration on honest history is hitting everyone,”
A. S. Dillingham, a tribal member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma and a historian at Arizona State University, says.
This assault on history is particularly glaring this week,
as repression and censorship push teachers and politicians alike to acquiesce to the celebration of a sanitized falsehood
instead of using the Thanksgiving holiday as an opportunity to reckon with the dispossession…

The atmosphere of fear surrounding Trump’s cult of personality has kept Republicans from criticizing him
even when they think he’s wrong.
But consider the list of issues on which notable Republican officeholders and influencers are now breaking with Trump,
or at the very least fighting amongst themselves in ways that weaken his movement:
After months of resisting the release of the Epstein files, Trump faced a revolt from his own party in Congress,
where both ho…

they do not want our country to stand on its own feet,”
Iranian president Masoud Pezeshkian said in an interview with the Supreme Leader’s official website.
He said the current war is worse than the Iraq war in the 1980s.
“If one understands it properly,
this war is far more complex and more difficult than that war.”

As a graduate student at MIT, Steve Ramirez successfully created false memories in the lab.
Now, as a neuroscientist working at the frontiers of brain science, he foresees a future where
we can replace our negative memories with positive ones.
In "How to Change a Memory", Ramirez draws on his own memories
—of friendship, family, loss, and recovery
—to reveal how memory can be turned on and off like a switch,
edited, and even
