DamianJ; Where is anyone suggesting otherwise?
In the video you posted. The idea to ban Domains is attacked without saying what should happen to sites whose sole function is hosting stolen material.
DamianJ;Again, who is suggesting otherwise?
Again the Video you posted which give the extreme example of music playing in the background being challenged.
Damian That's like suing a gun manufacturer for someone being shot. And although it might not be to your taste, youtube is giving voices to millions of people.
Well as guns function is killing people in most countries they are very tightly controlled. Are you free to make guns? Try making explosives in your house..tell me how that goes.
To help I think the example would be should car manufacturers be blamed for bank robbers' get away cars?
The answer of course is no. But the situation here is like a car manufacturer making and selling the car for the sole purpose of robbing banks.
DamianJ;No it isn't.
I hope you are right and the Internet will change the world for the better, I don't see the evidence.
DamianJ;Destroyed? (music ind)
talking to technicians that work in music studios
DamianJ;And rather than threaten creative industries, it suddenly gives Joe in his bedroom an potential audience of millions and millions of people to sell his product to. You really cannot possibly argue the internet is bad for creative people.
This is a illusion, most people on the internet visit very few sites. There was an article in the New Scientist about making a "viral video" . they said it was near impossible with 20 hours of video being uploaded every minute. You are just swamped must video just lost in the enormous amount of video online.
In the UK media wages are falling, there are thousands of media graduates unemployed, and people prepared to work for nothing. Hundreds try and make that book, song, movie but the reality is without massive backing 99.9% are doomed to failure. Newer have so many UK independent feature films been made to be watched by nobody.
