Status Quo
from the why-yes,-actually,-we-have-considered-that-already dept
Every argument
I ever hear anymore
Goes just like this one
Update: This is a good opportunity to introduce a seal I spent all of 1 minute making a few weeks ago on a free auto-generator, proudly displayed here as a badge of honor. Thank you!
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

Not that the status quo is necessarily a bad thing. But something being the status quo does not prove its worth.

Re:
I don't think I agree with you there. It is not a comment on progress but rather a comment on change. Status quo basically means the existing state of affairs... it is essentially a point in time and we decided whether or not we approve of that point of time and want to maintain it or change from it. Whether that change is "moving forward or backward" is largely subjective but any major change will move the status quo to a new point in time.

Re: Re:
Yes, you actually do agree with him. :-) He said "status quo means... keeping things as they have been." And you said "Status quo basically means the existing state of affairs."
It is not a comment on progress but rather a comment on change.
You can have change without progress, but you can't have progress without change.

It isn't the licenses that are holding these people back, it's that these "artists" do not want to have any partners who might share in the profit. So then these "artists" try to blame the rightsholders for holding them back.
What a sick, twisted con.

Re:
Actually the artists tell those rightsholder to go and f*** themselves and simply use other stuff so said rightsholders come away empty-handed. Smart move.

The eejit: "It clearly needs a more death-metal twist."
This two sentence and Nina's picture went in the melting pot, then something flahed through what's left of my brain.
And i ended up making THAT.
And no i can't do any better...
