| Zkuq said: I never liked Apple due to their closed platform in the first place, but for a long time, I considered privacy one of their strong points (kind of). I don't anymore; the potential (i.e. eventual) implications of this range from bad to horrible. I agree this is a problematic situation. I feel like almost everything has been said about this already, but I'll add that I feel the Mona Lisa comparison to be somewhat flawed. Mona Lisa still exists meaningfully even it's stricken, and it can be restored for the public at some point. Additionally, we're talking not about its creators but its owner, whereas with mods we're talking about creators themselves. It could lead to some interesting discussions, but it doesn't feel relevant to me, so I won't go further down that road. |
Reason why I used Mona Lisa is because it's creator has been dead for a very long time, and eventually the mod authors will pass in time, but their creations should be kept alive, just as we have preserved the painting. That's what I meant by it.
It's fine, we don't have to go down that road and leave it as is. but at least we see the situation as problematic.
