The "Fuck This" point aka Piracy Threshold

The majority of people have a basic desire to be honest - and I mean actually honest, rather than some limited definition based strictly on the law. People will go to reasonable lengths to be honest. It makes us feel good about ourselves, and it confers a certain immunity from legal problems. But then you fuck us. First you fuck us with exorbitant pricing. Then you fuck us with inconvenience...

The Music Industry is Sick: RIAA Insists That,... →

Let’s also say there’s only one supplier to purchase hot dogs from. Instead of simply charging a fixed price for hot dogs, that supplier demands the HIGHER of the following: $1 per hot dog sold OR $2 for every customer served OR 50...

themusicindustryissick: NPR Weekend Edition Host Audie Kornish: “One of the big criticisms that we’ve heard from artists is that the royalties that they get from Spotify are so low that it might as well be piracy.” Spotify CEO Daniel Ek: “Yeah, I do want to address that because I feel that it’s important to…
