@fstateaudio@mastodon.sdf.org the problem really is IP. I hope it goes away in my lifetime.

@fstateaudio @brian_gettler I hope someday to be cool enough that my kid (currently 9yo) would wear this shirt I saved from 20 years ago!

@fstateaudio Billionaires are stolen money. Billionaires are stolen money. Billionaires are stolen money. Billionaires are stolen money. Musicians are victims of billionaires.

@fstateaudio I keep the DRM turned off on my Amazon ebook listings (for all my pen names) because I know the people who were going to pay were going to pay even if they could download it for free, and those that do download it... Well, they might buy a story later.

@fstateaudio Spotify: hoisted upon their own petard, not self-aware enough to have shame.

@fstateaudio feels like the Streisand effort. Only real outcome is more people hear about Anna’s.

@fstateaudio The core idea endlessly pushed by the industry was simple: 1 pirated file = 1 lost sale But empirical research does not support this equation. A large share of illegal downloads concern works that would not have been purchased anyway (price, availability, simple curiosity). Piracy often acts as sampling: people discover, test, and later buy (concert tickets, merchandise, physical editions, future releases). In short: piracy mostly competes with marketing, not with creation itself.

@fstateaudio I remember being given a record in 1982 that had "home taping is killing music" on it. Which is of course why there has been no new music of any kind since 1983.

@fstateaudio but is it really musicians or is it music publishers that tell there artists (because they really own 'em) you want to get payed? Do this! Anyways the music industry lost their right to exist with the end of physical media.

@fstateaudio If Zuckerberg isn't in jail for pirating millions of books for his LLM, I don't care. And speaking as a musician: the one who's stealing is spotify.

@fstateaudio There is nothing in the universe that I once loved and now hate, more at either end, than Metallica. I'm pretty sure it was actually Cliff Burton I loved.

@fstateaudio if they want me to buy their song, they can put it on bandcamp or similar. I bought mad love[1] because someone mentioned it, I went to their website and I found to option to buy it. If it's inconvenient to buy it, I might as well pirate it [1] https://infinitysongmusic.com/products/mad-love

@fstateaudio @chirpbirb as a musician, please support working artists by giving them money, and please also pirate media :hug_love: (giving a musician $5 would give them more than they would ever get from you streaming their music)
