Wery interestin documentary about music piracy starting from 90’s when mp3’s was new thing
What happens is what’s intended.
Everyone is going to do it; and it will cause companies, artists and creatives to step back and rethink a bit on how they monetize their creations responsibly. The ones that refuse to rethink and adapt will fail and flounder under the tiny handful of straw that Piracy adds to the load.
That’s a GOOD thing.
What’s unfortunate is that companies and people still think it’s productive to worry and handwring over piracy as if it’s killing someone; instead of being the thing you “don’t fly too close to, lest your wax wings get melted off and you plummet to the ground.”
The dark side of piracy is capitalism violently enforced by the state.
Seems the only ‘dark side’ was that he was caught…
Yes, really interesting is when pirated album was shared before release it was selling more physical copies. I have heard it to be true elsewhere too, that piracy boost music sales.
I’m not saying i agree with the video title, i can’t do anything about that. I liked this documentary so much and i thought others in this community would enjoy it too.
