I also desire, nay; demand a content ID system, whereby my uniquely distinct farts are fingerprinted so that they cannot be used in media without my consent. A fart fingerprint? A fartprint.
The opposite of that would of course be Disney copyrighting and patenting their own fart sounds, which is an added bonus, as we’ve then effectively made fun intellectual property through intellectual property systems.
