> ... is fully and fairly notified about the existence ...
I'm not a lawyer, but recently I did watch the movie Legally Blond (recently for free at YouTube) where the character Elle Woods on her first day of Harvard Law School was sent out of a class for being "unprepared", that is, not having read 41 pages on "jurisdiction" or some such.
Well, Ms. Woods might have responded to the professor that she did nothing wrong and, thus, should not be sent out of class and all that because she was not "fully and fairly notified" of the existence of the assignment.
I thought of that while watching the movie (likely the movie audience was not supposed to think of such things!), but it is nice now to see none other than Justice Stevens make clear the importance of "fully and fairly". Might have been cute in the movie for the character Ms. Woods to raise such an objection that she was not notified!
My guess is that each such page is constructed dynamically, that is, for one specific user from a recommendation engine based on the most recent data YouTube has on that user. When I mentioned elsewhere in this thread "If click around enough at YouTube ...", that was very short for something like a guess that if a YouTube user watches a few movies and that is mostly what they do watch at YouTube, then some YouTube recommendation engine constructs for that user then a page of just movies. But that page and its URL may be valid only for a short time: So, saving the URL for later or giving it to someone else won't be useful.
Can imagine a horror movie: Joe frequently goes to the university library for applied math books but today happens to want a certain book on ancient Greek history. So, as Joe walks down an isle in the history section, the books notice that it is Joe and all change themselves to applied math! Poor Joe can't find his book on ancient Greek history!
YouTube now has maybe several dozens, maybe more, of full movies available to watch for free "with ads". Where they got the movies, I have no idea. If click around enough at YouTube, can get a Web page that lists just movies, all or nearly all for free and the rest "for rent".
In my experience, the operation of downloading a movie, or any video being played in a Web browser, at least with the software tools I have, to a file is touchy, slow, unreliable, etc. but at times works, but I was able to download, from somewhere, Sargent York. Also I was able to buy on DVD the original King Kong.
Both of these two old movies show, at least to my eyes, that the basic craft of drama, story telling, and, really, movie making was plenty advanced by the time of those two movies (the 1930s). For "York" busy movie music composer Max Steiner in places was plenty dramatic.
From such old movies, I have liked the examples of the basic craft of movie making with simpler and easier to understand movies that don't do nearly as much as a lot of more recent movies with special effects.
My guess is that most of what is important in making a movie popular is the basic craft and not the rest, and in my judgment the craft has not improved much since the best work of the 1930s. Maybe this observation is just Film School 101. Yes, current computer based special effects are amazing, but that is only an indirect approach to the main goal of the basic craft, insight into humans. Having at least some understanding of the "basic craft" is somewhat relevant to my Internet startup.
Sure, in school I was a STEM field major and refused to take literature seriously. But at times literature tries to address a serious subject -- humans. Literature does not always do well with that subject, but neither do the STEM fields.
To my eyes, sometimes literature, ..., and movies actually do well in some respects with humans, at times good enough to take seriously in the goal of understanding humans.
Both: Youtube has an official set of movies, possibly a duplicate of Google Play or a different set; and people routinely upload pirate movies, although anything more recent than about 1990 is likely to get a copyright strike.
