Well, the US is the country with the most people of Norwegian descent, ahead of Norway. Of course it helps up the number when you can include people with less than 100% ancestry in a much larger country.

    They say if you don't pay, you're the product, but that's obviously bullshit, paying solves nothing. The saying should be never trust corporations.

    Streaming services, digital services in general, should be made to compete on having the best platform, not on exclusive content.

    It's all the same wires going to the same machines. Internationally, too. I can see maybe allowing for different pricing for countries with very different wage levels, but if it's online, it should be available everywhere.

    I might agree if Google had nothing to do with YouTube. But since it's theirs, I would only be worried about individual content creators and archivists, and they'd be better off with a support mechanism not controlled by Google. The ones not already raking it in with Google's, I mean.

    Appeal rejected, but familiarize yourself with the content policy for future reference?

    Copyright only exists to serve society, to promote the creation of content. It's not about restricting anything, other than as far as it helps more people create, more creation happen. Corporations stomping on individuals does not promote creation.
