Edit: I realize from the replies that my point was off base and actually opposite of the debate here. I'm going to leave this in its place, but thanks to the responders that showed me this wasn't the right place to make the point I was trying to.

Govt research grants are not videos literally being published by the govt. They aren't particularly comparable siuations. It's why I can't just buy a stock of Disney and suddenly have free access to their IP. Meanwhile I can rehost whole programs put out by NASA with zero issue.

I get the anger and it's justified, but man is it misdirected here.

Yes, thank you. You gave a more detailed answer than I did.
