[Kevin Patrick] “Aren’t you (we) mixing copyright with patent? “

Yes, but I said as much- that the term on copyright is Mickey + N and that I’m not aware of a similar axiom for patents.

Best,

I believe both copyrights and patents have an expiration date.

[alban egger] “The very distant future might be that we don´t record in camera, but in the cloud and while we shoot the editor picks the shots already in the studio……..”

Folks have been doing this for years, using gadgets like AJA IO HD. Putting the post production budget into the production budget is good business, for some clients.

You also wrote, “while we shoot the editor.” Now, that’s a funny quote, out-of-context.
