I'm a grad getting in to webdev, and I find this fascinating - is it really that bad? Every company I've interviewed at so far has been lenient as long as you know how to solve a problem in a somewhat relevant lang/tech.

Snail mail prints to my friends. I'm joking of course, but what a horrible future - imagine if a 1984-like government used this tech to completely censor anything deemed against the "Party"?

What you say is true - although I'm not sure it matters. There are heaps of art forms which are out of copyright, why should people critique/parody new films? Because they're relevant and people understand the content
