Weird Al explicitly gets permission before doing a parody. Usually artists ask/beg him to do them. This comic is BS.

If you could "Eternal Sunshine" a piece of media so that you could listen to it for the first time again, what would it be? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I'm in the US, and I want this here. Not with that price, but I think that there should be an option.

Meta, Google, etc. should calculate how much revenue they could make from me, and then charge me that amount, or something like 10% more. If I pay it, they don't sell my data (I've bought an exclusive right to it). That way I'm either paying for the service by being the product, or by paying what they'd make from me. Seems fair.
