    You mean like that pharmaceutical research the US taxpayers subsidize, then let someone else patent?

      Govt research grants are not videos literally being published by the govt. They aren’t particularly comparable siuations. It’s why I can’t just buy a stock of Disney and suddenly have free access to their IP. Meanwhile I can rehost whole programs put out by NASA with zero issue.

      I get the anger and it’s justified, but man is it misdirected here.
