That's why the Affero GPL3.

Stops tivo-ization. And stops app-ification (making a GPL3 into a webapp and significant changes, but not sharing as well).

But most of the FLOSS orgs (FSF, etc) don't want blood from violator companies. Instead they just want mealy-mouth halfassed responses that amount to 'open the source'.

I remember what happened to copyright violators who copied Metallica and Britnry Spears back in the early 2000's. Fucking kids got hit with $4000 settlements or $135000 lawsuits.

That's the type of vigor and destructiveness I want FLOSS orgs to go after for-profit copyright violators.
