If the purpose of the lock is prevent people from changing their content, then the answer would be yes. If the purpose of the lock is to prevent fact checking and investigative reporting on the content, then the answer is no. It all depends on the intent behind the publication.
@9KTFCM71yr1Y
No, and piracy of content that is no longer legally obtainable through official channels should be legalized.
@98PL89V2yrs2Y
it depends on the appropriation of the content
@8V5TPXXNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Artists should be allowed to place locks to protect their revenues, but there should not be academic paywalls.
@8R396JS4yrs4Y
No, because reliable news and educations shouldn't be for profit, and they already profit off the ads on the sites. I shouldn't have to pay to access articles that have information I need.
Not the government’s business
@8QX2HL84yrs4Y
I think as long as the content was used in fair-use then leave them alone.
@8PXL3BFNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Yes, but they should be undone after 5 years.
@tofutofu4yrs4Y
I don't believe that pirating for an individual's personal use should have any serious legal consequences. However, claiming the work as one's own, profiting from the work of someone else, or the vast distribution of a work you don't have the rights to should have consequences. Artists/content owners should be allowed to place locks on their content at their discretion, while also having realistic expectations of what it means to release their work digitally. The best efforts should be made to support the work of artists and to prevent the theft/other people profiting from the use of the work and illegal redistribution of their work.
@8CRV6LZ5yrs5Y
They should protect artist but that means also reinforcing and protecting fair use. As most music is made with similar notes and beats. ie. the lady gaga lawsuit but also online content like the court case with H3H3 vs Hoss
