Film based on CC BY-SA 3.0 content
<p>If a film was based on text content under CC BY-SA 3.0 and released in theaters, would there be any way to stop people from ripping the film and uploading it to YouTube or similar content sharing sites? Also would that still be considered Piracy?</p>

<p>If work is licensed under <a href="https://freedomdefined.org/Licenses/CC-BY-SA-3.0" rel="nofollow noreferrer">CC BY-SA 3.0</a> and released in theatres it would not be legal for anyone to prevent you from ripping (or using a handycam or whatever) to get the film, and then redistribute on Youtube or anywhere else. </p>

<p>This particular license has the clause </p>

<blockquote>
  <p>"The freedom to redistribute copies: Copies may be sold, swapped or
  given away for free, as part of a larger work, a collection, or
  independently. There must be no limit on the amount of information
  that can be copied. <strong>There must also not be any limit on who can copy
  the information or on where the information can be copied.</strong> "</p>
</blockquote>

<p>To the extent you use this work in your own work, that is OK also - </p>

<blockquote>
  <p>"The freedom to distribute derivative works: In order to give everyone
  the ability to improve upon a work, the license must not limit the
  freedom to distribute a modified version (or, for physical works, a
  work somehow derived from the original), regardless of the intent and
  purpose of such modifications. However, some restrictions may be
  applied to protect these essential freedoms or the attribution of
  authors. "</p>
</blockquote>

<p>If software piracy is <a href="http://www.yourdictionary.com/software-piracy" rel="nofollow noreferrer">defined</a> as "Unauthorized copying of some purchased software. "  then there is no software piracy occurring.</p>
