So now the only choice I have would be to try and find .mp3 compressed versions online and get each song one by one...or order it off of amazon and wait for it to be delivered.

No more going to the music store and getting what I want when I want. And my fond memories of going to the big music stores like Peaches (I lived in Florida) were finding the record I wanted, and THEN seeing something else and impulse buying.

Those days are gone. Buying it all online can sometimes be real convenient (if a song is brand new), but it took away all the fun of getting an album and it also made music seem sort of insignificant compared to what it used to feel like to go find the record, open the package, etc.

Exactly, and the loss of "album" sales to "single" sales hurts as well. You used to buy an album for maybe 2 or 3 great songs, but overtime you would often gain an appreciation of the songs that didn't get airplay too. Sometimes the album conveyed a "feeling" that carried throughout the tracks. Now people are buying one single track at a time. There is no time to decide if you even like any of the other songs the artist has made, because you never allowed them to grow on you. In addition, the sound quality of these compressed files often suck, but since that's the easiest way to consume them, you even lose out on rich full quality sound now as well.

Yep...if Exile On Mainstreet were released for the first time today, everyone would just buy the single online to "Tumbling Dice" and one of the greatest rock records of all time would be mostly unheard.

And think of Led Zeppelin. Very rarely did they have a big single. Whole Lotta Love was their only top ten track. What a loss it would be.

Well christ, when you can go to YouTube and hear all new tracks of an album on demand the moment it's out. That's not some seedy pirate site behind the scenes but right in broad daylight so to speak as the 3rd highest traffic site on the planet!

I'm not sure I'm entirely against the music biz going more towards song by song vs. album - it had started getting to the point where record companies stuff a few radio singles per album and fill the rest of the space with crap. That said, I'd imagine it might hurt smaller artists who may get 1 of their songs seen and consequently get only 1 of their songs sold. Music has never been an industry where a significant amount of its participants see success, but it's also not exactly comforting to know that the most visible artists in the past decade have been for the most part glorified whores with millions of dollars of marketing behind them.

Now you've got artists like Kanye West putting out a new single every week. There's got to be a loss in quality if they're pushing them out the door that quickly, just to capitalize on the buzz and single sales.

You can find a lossless version of Sonic Temple to download with a quick search

Yep. The music business used to be about selling art and albums, now it is about selling singles.

I can't fully blame them. The consumer has spoken and most of them just want to buy individual songs and not entire albums, but what it does is kill the art form. These days artists are more interested in making the hit single that they can sell a million of, sell as a ringtone and create a catchy video for instead of writing a quality album that can be taking as a full work of art.

It is all kind of sad to me.

A bunch of self-entitled idiots who should be suffocated by their own "I don't care if you created it, it's all mine mine mine" like a 5 year old on sugar binge motto. You can defend this stuff all you want, but deep down inside, you have no problems stealing someone else's work for your own selfish wants. People like you have never ever worked hard for anything in your lives. You've had things handed to you and all you do is want more more more.

Just because something is created digitally rather than physically, it does not mean you have a RIGHT to take it. Just like someone who builds things, someone who creates movies and music have COSTS associated with those. People like you never ONCE ever consider this. You can deny it here on GFY or wherever, but deep down inside you know this is true. I'll never be convinced otherwise.

It doesn't matter if revenues are are up, it doesn't matter if an artist has a mansion and private jet. They WORKED for those revenues and are still missing out on revenues. Just because someone has a lot of money, it doesn't give anyone the RIGHT to take away their money. It doesn't give someone the right to say "you make too much money". That would be like me coming to your house and saying "hey dude, you made $350 last month, that's way too much money in my opinion, so I'm going to take your couch."

Now, I know that stealing crybabies like you will say there is a difference between a digital product and a physical product, but I'll call bullshit on that. There is still a cost associated with producing a digital product. For someone like you to sit there and claim that the time and money spent producing that is worthless is bullshit and I'll call you on that bullshit.

Consumers not paying for the content of the creators when it is up to them to pay for it (i.e. not radio where advertisement money is in play) is NEVER going to benefit the creators and is only going to devalue their work to the point when they much stop creating...I don't care what kind of study you want to throw out there to prove otherwise. You are trying to say that piracy spreads awareness of the content for more people that might pay for it, except you have no clue how many people who pirate the stuff would have bought it if they couldn't pirate it. Sure, there's a significant percentage of people who wouldn't have, but definitely nowhere near all, and ultimately people who pay for it see what pirates are doing and get enticed into doing the same when they see people getting stuff for free with no downside whatsoever.

Perhaps in the 24th century when money is non-existent and people can thus create simply to create, Picard and the crew will look back on these funny little GFY conversations laughing at the unnecessary intricacies of life that money creates, but we're not there yet.

show me one single example of me ever saying everything should be free.

i defend fair use and the use of technology to provide superior service in a way consistent with the rights already established

using the torrents like a vcr
using torrents like a radio station

using the tube sites to make commentaries.

the adaption is how to change your content so that when people do that stuff you still make money.

think of tit this way, if you refused to put your shit on the tape cassette, you ONLY lost money from the VCR.

same thing here, the three live interaction stuff is just a small example of what is available there are more than 100 (103) that will work in porn too (even more in mainstream).

Dirty Dane · 09-15-2010, 03:38 PM

The paper says the artists made the increase on live performance and less on digital/physical sales. In adult industry that would correspond to making more money on live sexshows or dating, which is also happening (by various sponsors paying and profit indirectly such thievery). But that doesn't mean the ones not perfoming live make more money and it's not an excuse for stealing others artistic work to promote another service. So the argument using file-sharing as "promotion" for an "overall" industry is basically flawed.

The paper is also limited to an isolated economy. They didn't include trade export or import. In adult industry that would correspond to excluding worldwide internet trade.

You can't compare two complete different products, complete different market situations (including laws), one industry that is subsidiziated with one industry that is not and never will be, and then conclude and talk about adaption.

There are many great photographers especially within the art niche and they can't (or will) adapt to live performance. Asking them to do so is like asking a painter to paint live. It's stupid and without any respect for his artistic talent. When some assholes reduce the value of his work by promoting something else or distribute it for free, the result will be less quality or in worst case he move to another niche. No matter how much Torrentfreak troll with their propaganda, Manwin troll with "what our laywers say", it destroys the economy for these artists and, it destroys cultural freedom which is the most shame about it all.

I'd say file sharing started in 1997.

So you're saying that ~14 years later, artists are making more than they did 1.5 decades ago?

Smooth.

And the top graph shows total revenues going sideways.. That's bad business gideon.

And maybe Norway had a shit music scene 15 years ago?

http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/property00/MP3/rio.html

the concept of selling songs individually cheaply in digital format was something that was repeatedly proposed by diamond and copycats of their technology.

The record companies refused to do it.

Napster forced the issue
and itunes became viable because piracy forced those companies to adapt.

fact is it is easier to find new obscure artist you have never heard of or would never hear of if it were not for technology now available

dan bull
JC
10,000 of artist release their content under CC-NC-A
people can freely share their content and they get paid, leveraging piracy taxes, open store fronts (where they keep 100% instead of 10%) and tours

there are all kinds of things you can do if you understand the difference.

The techniques are there for a no nothing band to do the impossible job of getting a product placement deal for their music video. Get the entire video paid for and pocket 4-10k extra. You just have to understand how the market has changed, and what you have to do to change your content to respond.

Radio stations pays for the rights to broadcast the music, so it isn't really "free" it's subsidized by advertisers.

If someone refused to put their shit on tape and they CHOOSE to lose money from the VCR, it's their right to do so...it's not your right to do it for them.

If an artist wants to give their music away for free or allow their movies to be watched for free, it's their call, not yours.

How do you get this notion that you can decide how someone monetizes or chooses not to monetize from new technologies? What gives YOU the right to determine that for someone else's work, regardless of how many other avenues of income they have?

your rights end the second mine begin and vice versa

copyright law only gives you the right to control the monitization of your content, not to censor other people.

if you choose to give up the monetization, then you lose nothing from it being given away for free, since you would make nothing by refusing to exploit the technology.

Yea, torrents and tubes are popular for vcr/radio/commentary like Viagra is popular to increase bloodflow throughout the body. Nope, sorry...people use torrents and tubes to get shit for free that they would otherwise have to pay for, and people use Viagra to make their penis hard. You can try to pretend otherwise to make your point but it doesn't change the truth.

I have a question though - you say not everything should be free. What is your opinion of places like Rapidshare charging money for premium access/faster download of copyrighted material? How is that any different than someone recording a VHS of copyrighted material and reselling it, which is against the law?

bullshit more than 50% of all torrent is tv shows
add in movies that have aired on tv and that jumps even higher.

many countries like canada has a piracy tax for music so that paid for too

and commentary

"Check out my favorite quest crew dance routine" is a commentary that makes no sense whatsoever without showing you the clip of the content

rapidshare doesn't charge for faster download of copyrighted material, they charge for faster access for downloading material weather it copyrighted, public domain, or authorized to be distributed. They offer a service which is not directly profiting from the infringment but can be used for infringing purposes.

your misrepresenting the vcr as an infringer.

btw the point is the same, as a user i could use a vcr for legitimate actions (timeshifting) and i could use rapidshare for legitimate purposes (commentary, parody, etc)

just because it could be use for illegal purpose doesn't give you a right to take way the technology completely.

Again, you compare completely different things. Trust me, placing advertisings into one MP3, between lines and chapters in a book, into a highly artistic photo, whatever... is not going to raise the artistic value. It will destroy the product and any potential revenue from other products is still NOT an excuse for distributing it without authorization.
An artist, a writer or a photographer should be able to do whatever HE/SHE wants with his work and no one or nothing else should force him to do otherwise. THAT is freedom and if you do not understand that, then go back to school.

So Gideon,

Did you ever find that email you had supposedly sent The Doc when he made the business offer to you a while back?

You had told him you sent an email and were staring to build sites to get the ball rolling on the project. The email never arrived and when you were asked for proof that you sent it, you seemed to disappear.

Did it ever turn up?

I'm guessing no which means you are back on the scene spouting your bullshit theories again with no credibility.

BINGO! gideongallery exposed himself for what he is...worthless.

He did NOTHING. And still has done NOTHING. He is a disgrace as a human being and just can't help himself but to come over to GFY and spout the propaganda he reads and then re-reads all night on bit torrent forums.

I have argued this point with gideon ad nauseum and he won't listen. He believes that so long as he isn't hurting you from selling it, he can take it for free. Never mind that by taking it now he might be diluting a future market or maybe that you may only want a select number of copies out there, he feels that it you won't sell it to him he has the right to take it.

He feels a movie should be released in all mediums on the same day it is available in theaters. So he feels that when a movie opens in theaters on a Friday that it should also be available on DVD, pay per view, premium cable, basic cable and free TV on that day. If needed the movie appearing on basic cable and free TV can be edited. This way all customers could have the movie available to them in their desired format at the time of its release. If you then chose to release in theaters, DVD and pay per view, but not the others, the free TV and cable customers should then be allowed to download it since you didn't offer it in their desired format and if you chose to leave that money on the table then their taking it doesn't hurt the movie financially. Again, never mind that they might want to see how well the movie does at the box office before settling on a broadcast fee, give it to him now in the format he wants it he should be allowed to take it.

The only country I know of using tax funds for porn is my own, Denmark. Some national made movies are placed in public libraries for "cultural and historical" reasons. Believe it or not, it's required by law to offer free porn to the public in libraries, the content is excempt from other laws and anyone have access to it. But these are limited to national only and it's far from piracy.

I'm so excited, please tell me where and how we can get that money from piracy. That's not another secret you won't share, or?

He feels a movie should be released in all mediums on the same day it is available in theaters. So he feels that when a movie opens in theaters on a Friday that it should also be available on DVD, pay per view, premium cable, basic cable and free TV on that day. If needed the movie appearing on basic cable and free TV can be edited. This way all customers could have the movie available to them in their desired format at the time of its release. If you then chose to release in theaters, DVD and pay per view, but not the others, the free TV and cable customers should then be allowed to download it since you didn't offer it in their desired format and if you chose to leave that money on the table then their taking it doesn't hurt the movie financially. Again, never mind that they might want to see how well the movie does at the box office before settling on a broadcast fee, give it to him now in the format he wants it he should be allowed to take it.

god you love completely misquoting me i never siad it doesn't hurt the movie financially, i said that extra profit comes from abusing the monopoly power granted and your not entitled to it.

just like universal was not entitled to all the extra money they would have gotten if they could have forced people to only timeshift using re-runs.

universal made way more money if people could have been forced to watch the re-runs when they were told to, with all the commercials included, the vcr paid them nothing for the timeshifted playing, no advertiser paid for that viewing so of course they lost that money.

You have argued that it a movie isn't released in a certain area on DVD that a person should be allowed to download it because it isn't harming them economically.

Also, case it point. We once argued about the show Heroes. I stated that there are places in the world where Heroes doesn't air and is not available on DVD yet. You had no problem with those people downloading it because the owners of the show are not trying to sell it in that area. Never mind that they might be waiting for 100 episodes so they can sell it in syndication to that area or they might be packaging it in a different format later in that area. The downloads then could hurt them because people will have already gotten it for free and won't be paying. You didn't seem to care and thought that since it wasn't for sale now the download was okay.

No reason for us to discuss the details of the deal (lets put it on hold) until you can prove you have an ounce of honestly in your bones.

want to produce the quote where i said that exactly.

never happened.

just look at your case in point and re-read my above post. the 100 espisode syndication revenue is just like the re-runs and advertising revenue gained from blocking vcrs.

universal didn't have a "right" to that revenue.

That the point , the re-runs had to compete against the vcr for timeshifting because timeshifting is a fair use.

Access shifting just simply creates the same situation for geographic(you can't watch it because your in england) vs medium extension (you can't watch it on tape cassette)

You do not have to teach me anything.

If it's that difficult to prove your claim, then give just 1 example. 1 country which compensated for porn piracy through tax funds. 1 case.

oh and btw in the case of heroes we were talking about the establish ruling of law, not my opinion

the case law in that country was 1 download != 1 lost sale and therefore 1 download != 1 infringement.

Okay, I will write it a little more clearly. I'm not going to waste time going back and finding quotes.

If Heroes never airs in a country, those people do not have the right to download it. It isn't like if they live where it airs and they are using the torrent as a form of a VCR or DVR. They are taking something they never had access to in the first place.

Let me simply ask this question: If the above scenario is true and people from Country A have never had the show Heroes air in their country and the show is not available to them to buy on DVD do you feel they should be allowed to download it for free?

http://www.gfy.com/showpost.php?p=17...&postcount=214

this post is where the original offer is made. Nowhere do you say anything about only teaching him. You say you want to reserve the right to sell the technique to other people, but not that you would just teach him.

Also you do mention that he would be responsible for the day to day operations, but no mention of grunt work.

http://www.gfy.com/showpost.php?p=17...&postcount=215
His response where he says YOU would have to produce at least 100 sales per day for this to be a viable thing for him to do.

It goes on from there. You never mention that you will just be teaching him this and having him do it, you imply that you will generate the sales and then as per usual you start rambling about incoherent shit.

here is a breakdown of the posts
In order of the deal going down:

And of course he didn't agree to your terms that his content would end up in the public domain. Why would he. You just tossed that in at the end when you were exposed as a liar.

first the highlighted portion is your opinion, and so far no matter how many times i have asked you to produce a single case to back it up you have never done so.

second using torrents as a vcr is timeshifting not access shifting and time shifting is the fair use for when it airs in your country

third the fair use of access shifting has not been established yet, however case law like the 1 download != 1 lost last therefore no automatically counting each download as an infringement ruling in EU is the basic foundation for this new fair use.

wrong question

do i believe the copyright holder should have a right to stop them from downloading it for free

no.

that how fair use works, the exclusive rights don't exist for the scope of fair use. it effectively public domain content for that scope.

It's amazing you know something about laws that no one else know about. Not even the laywers. Maybe Steve Lightspeed, Robbie and co should get better laywers, because laywers are supposed to know the laws, right?
If they can get compensation from governments who gladly pay for pirated porn, funded by taxes, the laywers should advise them to start uploading themselves instead of hunting the infringers, don't you think?

day to day operations is grunt work in this context

if i show him how to setup a private tracker properly all the "day to day operations" of that private tracker would be grunt work.

submitting all the torrent
dealing with the torrent sites all of that is day to day operation

i can show you the changes necessary and then walk away from it.

which clearly proves i expect to show him a bunch of changes that was necessary and then just walk away (what i said the deal was)

he did respond back with something like

Let's do it, I have the content. I have people waiting this minute to start building. My email is webmaster.skills at gmail dot com and my icq is below.

for doc to claim that he ment for me to do all the work he specified i would have to do in this thread

he would have to explain exactly how i could "change a few things and walk away" and still be doing all the stuff he listed he wanted me to do

http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showth...=977299&page=4

the best statement he could make given the conflict between his original "sweet" statement and his you must do all the stuff statement is he is a lying scum back mislead me into believing i could "show (him) the changes necessary and then walk away from it"

but that the point doc is lying about not recieving the letter (just like he lied about doing product placement before, and he lied about agreeing to me just showing the changes and then walking away .

if i truely didn't send the letter he would have no problem agreeing to this, because it would be impossible for me to post the screenshot.

hell he could still get out of putting his content in the public domain, by just simply doing the deal as he lead me to believe it was going to happen (with his sweet)

like i said so far i have never been wrong about any of my predictions

robbie, steve and etc have always argued against me on those case, so they have always been wrong.

As you can see above, if you're able to produce the 100 sales a day... you can walk away. I never once said in that thread you would do all the work.

As well, if you notice that thread is 2 months later than the ones Kane posted - not the same thread, not the same month. That is the thread though that you started twisting everything stupid and you got called on it just like you are in this thread.

You never sent a letter and you never sent an email. We never agreed for you to show me the changes and walk away, we agreed that you could produce a 100 sales a day...then I didn't give a shit what you did.

If you didn't send the letter I wouldn't have a problem agreeing... to what? You couldn't just post a screenshot of your out box with the email sent to me?

Get out of what? We never did anything... I have nothing to get out of.

Dirty Dane Sick Fuck Industry Role: Join Date: Feb 2004 Location: www Posts: 9,491	The paper says the artists made the increase on live performance and less on digital/physical sales. In adult industry that would correspond to making more money on live sexshows or dating, which is also happening (by various sponsors paying and profit indirectly such thievery). But that doesn't mean the ones not perfoming live make more money and it's not an excuse for stealing others artistic work to promote another service. So the argument using file-sharing as "promotion" for an "overall" industry is basically flawed. The paper is also limited to an isolated economy. They didn't include trade export or import. In adult industry that would correspond to excluding worldwide internet trade. You can't compare two complete different products, complete different market situations (including laws), one industry that is subsidiziated with one industry that is not and never will be, and then conclude and talk about adaption. There are many great photographers especially within the art niche and they can't (or will) adapt to live performance. Asking them to do so is like asking a painter to paint live. It's stupid and without any respect for his artistic talent. When some assholes reduce the value of his work by promoting something else or distribute it for free, the result will be less quality or in worst case he move to another niche. No matter how much Torrentfreak troll with their propaganda, Manwin troll with "what our laywers say", it destroys the economy for these artists and, it destroys cultural freedom which is the most shame about it all.
