Copycats are fairly common on the Internet, not just videos, but articles, products, groups, ideas. Identifying groups and individuals is difficult. Verifying ownership of sites often impossible. It it not easy to enforce now, and with hundreds of millions of domains one size will not fit all.
I like what you seem to be doing. I cannot tell if you are changing anything.
When I worked at Georgetown University Center for Population Research in the early 1980s most of it was for the USAID Africa Bureau population projections – long range planning for all the countries. Then 3 years at AID setting up systems to study all countries. Then 2.5 years setting up the Famine Early Warning System for USAID and the State Department, and all the related resource groups. We did not stop the conflicts that were often the cause. But “prevent famine” from most natural causes is relatively easy.
When-ever I see people working hard to create green areas from desert, consider who often ends up taking the land and the work and the benefit.
Has anyone modeled transforming the whole of the Sahara and Sahel, Arabian desert, all the deserts? Even it it took 300 years, it would transform the climate and economics and hope.
