Why didn’t you post the whole article? Were you afraid that Torrentfreak would sue you for copyright infringement?
It’s not a fallacy.
It is somewhat a fallacy, and also somewhat true.
Clearly the problem is if the music is available for $0.00 there is no incentive to pay for it, meaning the artists and record companies get nothing.
There needs to be a middle ground somehow.
Much of youtube is bootleg and youtube is adding pay-for-download to their business model.
A bit of irony in excerpting a story on the ‘virtues’ of copyright piracy.
It only costs the artist if the end user would have paid for it otherwise. And downloaders never would...
Bkmrk.
Free c rap is still crap
Remember that they also tried to ban us from recording songs on the radio (or copying from other tapes).
Music fans have been sharing widely since tape decks were created. Yet truly good bands NEVER had issues selling albums where most songs were good. People were PROUD to own, look at and touch such amazing albums even if a friend already gave them a copy.
MAYBE, just maybe, the reason most “bands” aren’t selling albums today is because they’re fake marketing creations of a greedy industry trying to hawk re-hashed autotuned garbage. To make their friends and casting couch whores money. Where *maybe* one song on an album manages to sound good enough to buy.
I haven’t listened to a mainstream album worth buying in its entirety since the mid 90s. F you greedy bastards, you did it to yourselves!
