Perfectly happy to pay artists for their work; entirely unwilling to pay the scum that aggregate and charge for access to that art, with countless strings attached.
I don’t even get why pay artists for their work at times like this. Seems like that should be for times when there’s enough food for everyone.
Easy for me to say as someone with enough food to do art as a hobby, but still
If it becomes impossible to make a living as an artist, the only people becoming creatives will be the kids of rich people. Mummy and daddy can pay for them to spend 10 years flouncing around Hollywood, making loss making tv shows, or whatever before they stand a chance of being paid enough. Already a huge problem.
If only rich people are making art, it’s inevitable that mass culture will be dominated by the ideology and beliefs of out of touch rich people. If you want culture that criticizes the status quo, you need more poor or working class kids in the creative sector.
This being said, my pension plan is a rope, so I’m quite happy pirating rather than paying for luxuries. Especially if I’m stealing from a company that engages in wage theft, avoids paying tax, etc. If anything it then becomes perfectly moral.
But if you have some spare money, go support artists and creatives who deserve it.
Not that I’m judging anyone.
Pirate to own what they want me to rent.
& piracy as archival
‘Piracy’ is only a problem if ‘Intellectual Property’ is treated as a legitimate concept, and not an arbitrary construct of artificial constraint imposed on intrinsically abundant resources.
Copyright and patents should be replaced with a system designed to quantify and attribute the true value of ideas, and not reward locking them away as tightly as possible.
Always wanted to ask whether this is a meme com now and whether piracy memes could be separate so the main remains for proper interesting discussions and questions
I don’t think the Threadiverse is big enough for it to matter in most cases, this comm is huge, but yet there were 3 posts all day yesterday to it
Plus, memes are perfectly capable of sparking serious discussions and questions to lol
I pirate but still go to local indie house cinemas to contribute to good artists. I’ll go commercial cinema too as that’s only £5 and you can take your own food.
¿Por qué no los dos?
I pirate on principal
I pirate on my pc and the internet.
I pirate on supernintendo chalmers
There’s a minor issue with this meme.
I pirate because I’m a cheap bastard.
I am a pirate because I are.
Don’t you mean arrrrrr?
Arrrrrrrrrr.
