Sharing is Caring

themusicindustryissick:
This is a post by Leigh Beadon on Techdirt that we thought was of great interest:
RIAA Still Doesn’t Get It: Hopes SOPA Opposition Was A ‘One-Time Experience’
In a previous post, I looked at the first part of Andrew Keen’s interview with RIAA CEO Cary Sherman. In the second half of the interview, Sherman fields some audience questions collected on Twitter, and his...

Piotr Czerski
We, the Web Kids.
(translated by Marta Szreder)
There is probably no other word that would be as overused in the media discourse as ‘generation’. I once tried to count the ‘generations’ that have been proclaimed in the past ten years, since the well-known article about the so-called ‘Generation Nothing’; I believe there were as many as twelve. They all had one thing in common:...

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.

themusicindustryissick:
I’m honored to see that the folks at the RIAA have taken the time to read our Sky is Rising report. Unfortunately, they don’t seem to like hearing the news that the wider music industry is actually thriving — because it doesn’t work well with their legislative strategy (and, remember,…

Piracy, Morals and The Need for Change
themusicindustryissick:
