My favorite people discussing a seriously difficult topic. Love it.
My 2c: Piracy is not a money issue, it's a service issue.
If youtube's paid service would be good, I would not have a problem paying. (but you can't for domain accounts)
Same for streaming services: I will not grab a subscription from all of them: too much hassle.
And netflix (for instance) limits amount of downloaded content for viewing offline, and for how long.
Plex has no such limitations...
@Duckbill4994 @vkc @JoeRess Oof, Veronica punched me right in the nostalgia with that example. Much respect.
I tabsolutely taped my favorites off the radio. I dubbed tapes for friends. (And later ripped CDs,).
Maybe that friend ended up seeing the band live, which netted that band a LOT more money. (I became pretty anti-major label/RIAA for awhile when I learned the truth of how little artists made with those recording contracts).
But we shouldn't be afraid to call a spade a spade, right?
@killyourfm @vkc @JoeRess piracy is indeed piracy.
but one side is inflating the harm upon "society" a little too much without factoring in the whole story. like @vkc also alluded too.
The famous example of one download does not mean one lost sale of cd or something.
There are even reports that piracy has a net benefit for buying. like with games.
ads every 5 minutes on youtube make me not use youtube. that is even worse for the creator
