So it's me who is supposed to go in lockstep now? Because you "educated yourself" but haven't bothered to explain it. Yeah, the it will "break the internet." That kind of hyperbole brings out suspicion.

Consider me an ordinary ignorant voter you have not convinced. Why does Hollywood lose and the Tech side win here?

Of course the tech side can claim it will "break the internet" and that nobody else "understands the structure of the internet." Naturally most of us can't debate that point.

Or do the Hollywood creators of content have no rights here? Too bad? Why does this set of corporations lose to the other?

It's funny how something becomes the lockstep wisdom and you just cannot believe anyone would ask a question. How dare I?
