and the artists will get zero
Never pay for music again, and don’t let anyone you know do that shit either.
They come for archives–nothing should be off limits.
If you never pay for music, artists won’t be able to make new music. Where possible buy as directly as possible from the artist, e.g., through bandcamp.
And concerts
Artists can’t pay rent now. They make music though.
I work for a better world. I do not look for excuses to reward corporations that steal from artists to burn libraries, thanks.
I feel like “not paying artists” makes as much for a better world as “not tipping waitstaff”.
It’s really not something i consider worth my time and attention. I know your liberal programmed virtues tell you that supporting artists under capitalism with your dollar-vote is the done thing, but i don’t agree and won’t be wasting any more of my time trying to reason you out of such a convoluted position on something that barely matters.
The whole point of this lawsuit was to try and torpedo the Internet Archive. Would’ve been nice to know the explicit results from whatever settlement was reached. Was it for IA to just remove and ban the account that uploaded the works? I’ve no idea.
Either way, just the music labels making up numbers as usual to make the battle look unwinnable. Fucking pricks.
