I'm pretty sure movie theaters are transitioning from screening movies to selling elaborate popcorn buckets

"Tragically, the Court then undermines the important ruling in the Betamax/VCR case that found “time shifting” (recording stuff off your TV) to be fair use, even as it absolutely was repackaging the same content for the same purpose. The Court says that doesn’t matter because it “predated our use of the word ‘transformative’ as a term of art.” But that doesn’t wipe out the case as a binding precedent, even though the Court here acts as though it does."

It's also really bad and is going to hurt a lot of other things about digital preservation and being able to copy/backup/record stuff if the courts now start to decide that recording TV never should have counted as fair use :\

I hope you always keep a little bit of this inside you.

A reminder, for those who need it

This is a proposal to expand the tried tl;dr standard for further usecases.

This is a draft.
