Hairsational Legal issues sounds likely given the suddenness.
It's hard to believe that people are naive enough to think this would end well - As an older and wiser user, never ever become a beta tester unless they pay you and forgod sake consumers shouldn't invest in something that is still being developed - It beggars belief !
But again... it's entertainment for me
I'd like to say this was a good move with regards to my streamlining comment due to the upcoming economic turbulence, but if this is gonna be relaunched under a different guise then it's just posponing economic losses.
This tech needs to be less reliant on server space (costly to host and user) and either use downloaded tech / app that can create a mask on the fly similar to what i assume is used for the cams or create a dedicated downloadable app that will create a mask for a specific user scene with variables similar to codecs for user preference.
Basically putting all the work back onto the user who have a decent computer with zero processing costs to SLR
A one off cost for the downloadable software of $19.99 - I'd pay that to create my own masks of files / scenes i own - but there is not a chance in hell i would pay $6.99 per scene as proposed lol
Also sell the tech under license to other studios
