I remember in the 90s when you had to buy CDs and DVDs (or VHS). It was awful. You couldn’t afford much so you had to be stingy in what you watched and listened to. At the time I remember dreaming of endless content options that I could try. Streaming is that dream. The fact that the shitty companies are making it worse and increasing prices doesn’t mean the streaming subscription model is inherently flawed.

5·30 days agoI sporadically go a day without modern technology. No phone, no computer, no tv. I let myself listen to radio and use lights. It’s really good. I recommend everyone try it for a day.

1·2 years agoCan you link to a single case where someone has been charged with theft for making money off something they’ve copied?
Or are you using some definition of the word theft that’s different from the legal definition?

1·2 years agoThat’s not what theft is. I think you mean copyright infringement.
I guess you can’t quantify how much the name has helped it. How many people remember it because of its quirky name. Without knowing both numbers it’s hard to know if it’s a net positive or negative.

They use them but they don’t take them. If I steal your bike, you no longer have a bike. If I copy your bike, you still have your bike.
Copying is not stealing. It’s corporate propaganda conflating the two.

I find that now I listen to a much broader selection of music. If anyone recommends a band I’ll listen to their album. In the past I couldn’t afford to buy the albums of every band someone else liked, so I stayed in my lane (musically) with what I listened to.
