Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: “an world without I.P. wouldn't go far.”
looking at it again, yah pretty much
or so deeply ingrained in the whole copyright mentality that they can't possibly imagine an artist who actually doesn't see "the benefit" nor the alleged "protections" i'm "supposed" to be getting
it's like, yah great, i can "control" my works... uh, i do that already when i make them and upload them somewhere
problem is nobody will see them hardly cause everyone is too afraid to share them, scared that i might be "one of those" people who will go apeshit the moment somebody doesn't jump through one of their permission hoops
i'm quite a hermit plus got some issues with stalkers i'm working out so it's quite difficult to get ahold of me
in recent days i've come to notice most people just don't even bother asking OR using stuff anymore, too much trouble to search for the person and wait for their reply, yet too scared to use it for fear of retaliation
in what way does this "help" me as an artist?
what's fucked up is some yahoo with an already large fanbase can come along and plagiarize one of my works and because they have more fans (thus more views) everyone will believe they made it and call ME the thief!
they get away with because i'm obscure, and will probably remain so as long as people are afraid to share works
in what way does this "protect" me as an artist?
what do i get in return? that i can boss people around & tell them what to do and sue their ass if they don't listen to me? i don't know about anyone else but a reign of fear & tyranny is not the kind of relationship i want to build with my fans
what else do i get return? a bunch of idiots thinking they can speak for me as an artist because the thrill of cheap, dirty power sounds like a great trade-off for common sense
a bunch of idiots who take their fans for granted, while i'd kill for a decent sized fanbase of any kind
& these are the same idiots who think they know what's best for me as an artist, at this point i'm almost afraid to upload some of my works due to copyright bullshit, that's another thing....
as an artist i'm thoroughly disgusted, this system does not help or protect me in any way, to say the least it has been nothing but trouble for me
no, sorry, plagiarism doesn't count, copyright doesn't protect against nor does it care who the actual author is, it's all about ownership who can be anyone, not authorship
i constantly see this "protection" thing being brought up yet every single time it raises the same question you act like there's this pack of fucking dingoes waiting to tear the thing to pieces the moment copyright is removed from it
well there already was Donald Duck's Quack Attack long before there was Angry Birds, even if the gameplay is different the base concept is still kind of the same thing I mean how many games can you make about pissy birds throwing tantrums?
uh, yeah good luck with this, it would make 90% of the internet criminals as if they aren't already, half the fun is photoshopping shit together in a cut&paste fashion, that includes heads on naked bodies
see, this is the problem with trying to talk to these people: they always drag it into a moral morass and completely forget about what the actual point of the discussion is
they just can't comprehend how it could possibly have nothing to do with "right&wrong" or "black&white" but looking at what's infront of you, understanding what's making it the way that is and creating a fix based on the evidence presented
but they just get stuck in the moral morass and can't seem to get past it, even when you offer them your hand to pull them out they won't take it they will instead try and drag you in with them
i guess it's just easier to stand in a puddle of FUD than it is to actually think about WHY things are the way they are
you would not be wrong to deduce that some of us think funny videos on YouTube are more important than honoring intellectual property rights.
[WARNING: RANT/NERDRAGE CONTENT AHEAD]
i'd be one of those people
it is difficult to make a spongebob youtube poop due to the content ID, it's not always easy to guess which part of which episode will trigger the global block
the sad thing here is that i actually enjoy the YTPs of spongebob MORE than i enjoy the newer episodes
the poops which are little more than edits of old episodes with some added clips/sounds/sentence mixing filled with cuss words, memes, stupidity & nonsensical anarchy are easily TEN TIMES funnier than the episodes that came with the latest season, or every season after the first 2-3
all of this put together random yahoos on the internet who probably only spent 5 minutes on it and yet it is much better than the official episodes produced by paid professionals
does no one else see the problem here?
they could kill spongebob tomorrow and i wouldn't give a fuck, the internet's done a better job in continuing that show than viacom ever did, for one thing viacom fucking disses sandy squirrel! everytime she shows up in an episodes nowadays she's either unimportant or put down in some way
internet has even got friggin' rule 34 of her, which is way more than viacom has ever done since Stephen Hillenburg left, it is hard to find anything official of her nowadays
which brings me to my point, the internet is like one big family, we take good care of our needs, if it is wanted, it is made and made available, with the exception of some control-freak copyright-artists we don't give a fuck what people do with it so long as it satisfies our needs in some way
the industries don't care what we want, they use starvation/negligence as a tool to corral us into the "next big thing", if i'm interested in your "next big thing" i'll go there, you don't need to take away what i loved before to make me go there it will only piss me off
you can't even get a copy of the ducktales soundtrack, i've looked for it, apparently disney's reasoning is that "people won't buy outdated content" fuck you disney i'd pay for that soundtrack i'm serious it's better than the shit you shell out today how can you fucking abandon ducktales for hannah montana?!?
i found all of ducktales on youtube, every single episode, i couldn't find shit on the official channel, i guess people don't want to watch "outdated content" either huh? oh wait i just did, dumbasses
i can't believe it when people say scrooge mcduck runs your company i disagree even he's not that fucken greedy, if anything he probably would embrace the internet since he's smart enough to know it'll give him more money that's probably why you took the show off the disney channel can't show rich people who actually have shred of intellect/reasoning same with sandy squirrel can't have someone who is intelligent on a show full of retards well fuck you disney & viacom
PS. may the ear/eye rape of a thousand youtube poops/rule 34 forever haunt the minds of every copyright/IP (that includes you viacom/disney) supporters for all eternity
you are definitely not alone, infact i doubt there is one with as much hatred as i do for these filth and the copyright/IP disease they use to get their way
& i'd tolerate a reduction time on the length of copyright, somewhere around 2-3 years, these days 2 or 3 years is like 20 or 30 for tech and 200-300 years on the internet itself
we really don't need anything longer than that, by the time the copyright expires whatever it is probably passed into the vault of dust & cobwebs
practically the only people looking for it by then will be the cult classic/hardcore/underground fans and i say let them have it and do whatever they want with it 'cause it's well past it's prime for money making
i'm tired of stupid & ignorant people who think that it can, it's like putting fire & ice into the same pot and thinking they can coexist
it's not going to happen, one will eventually win over the other at best or it will a shoddy existence in constant tension at worst
it's one or the other, i'm fucking sick of copyright crippling my internet, making content i want unavailable & making my life as an artist needlessly more difficult, fuck you and fuck off, the internet don't need you, won't miss you and would be MUCH better off without you
