Somewhere, some rights-holder — in this case, Kultur Video — decided it was better for the world that no one see the interview online than that people see it and no one profit from it. This, right here, is the deepest, saddest brokenness of current thinking on intellectual “property” as a wealth of humanity’s greatest intellectual and creative treasures rot in the clenched talons of rights-holders unable to monetize their properties and unwilling to make them available for free. As long as we continue to place commercial profit above cultural profit, especially when it comes to archival materials and cultural preservation, we are doomed to a future bitterly divorced from its past.
Maria Popova (b. 1983) Bulgarian-American essayist, author, critic [Мария Попова]

"Driscoll’s today is less a #farming business than a #research and #marketing enterprise, harvesting #berry-related data instead of #berries. Instead of owning land, the company owns the #genetic material of its berries and the knowledge of how best to plant, pick and transport them.
…
“A former senior compliance manager sued the company, alleging that #Driscoll’s penalized him for flagging excess use of #pesticides, and that the company had knowingly shipped berries to #Canada that exceeded that country’s more stringent limits.
…
“Quest for the perfect berry plays out night and day at the company’s headquarters, a patchwork of fields, farmhouses, spectrometer labs, tasting rooms and worm beds dotting the #PajaroValley.
…
"Driscoll’s model reflects another shift in 21st-century #agriculture, away from #OpenSource knowledge developed by public institutions like universities, to fiercely protected #IntellectualProperty owned by private companies.”

Tangible versus Virtual. Here's a great example of how the promise of streaming has been betrayed by cartelized corporate greed. First photo is my recently delivered box set of "The Expanse", 19 DVD's all for $32.40 USd including tax & shipping. Second photo is the cost to stream all 6 seasons contained in the DVD set, from Fandango at $59.99.
I acquired a bit ago a nicely working DVD/BluRay/CD player with HDMI & spdif audio outputs for $15 from my local Goodwill, hooked into the 55" display & big speakers in my studio, for a home theater vibe. Nice thing is that it is also easy to rip DVD's to digital video files, and with Jellyfin on my OpenMediaVault server, easy to stream to other devices too. Versus a bigger payment for just a corporation's potentially rescinded promise towards future viewing access.
Once upon a time, given the relative costs of materials/time/energy/labor needed to create tangible formats like optical discs, made one of the big selling points of streaming, besides obvious 'convenience', was that it was almost always less expensive for the consumer. While streaming certainly has costs to produce - needing lots of servers for encoding & hosting, and CDN's for the streaming - this should still end up being a fraction per stream compared to what it takes to manufacture, package & deliver optical discs made out of plastics and metals. So seems to me what we've seen of late is the media corporations raising in concert rates for streaming, with profit margins on these ballooning, while the last of the optical disc manufacturing plants, have reduced their profit margins to the bare minimum. The result is an inversion in pricing between the tangible & virtual options for many releases now. And for those of us interested in lasting & ready access to specific works of art, and for those of us that value "digital sovereignty", against a marketing system working to make these things more scarce, the tangible options are looking increasingly attractive.
