But you can't be a master of content creation, if you don't have an option to sue pirates.
this really bugs me because Anamanaguchi are fantastic and beloved by the likes of Porter Robinson, Herman Li, Rivers Cuomo, and Flux Pavilion (and they're friends of mine), and most of their music is Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Noderivatives.
Then there's Trent Reznor, who is now doing music for Hollywood movies and TV shows. Seriously, TP (for my bunghole), not even Hollywood agrees with that statement, which shows how delusional you are.
If someone actually pirated my work, proving it for a court is very trivial operation. You can do it in many ways:
1) file names
2) screen shots
3) videos of animations
4) script format
5) displayed logos/progressbars
6) distributed zip files
etc. tons of different ways to prove copyright infringement.
Have you ever done any of this in a court of law? Or are you speculating and hypothesizing?
Re: Re: One thing confuses me about Nintendo, though.
Thank you for your explanation! Also, Emulators are good for my music, as they allow people to play back some of the songs I compose on the original hardware without actually owning the original hardware. So one doesn't need to sail the copyright infringement seas to have a reason to want emulators to exist. 😉
Lawsuits cost legal fees. Besides, as Stephen pointed out, if you only made $6, how can you prove in a court of law that people are pirating your work?
Yes. It's called planet earth. More specifically, european market for digital products called phones.
You're seriously extremely deluded if you think everybody in Europe or everyone who has a smartphone is going to want to download your software. You're not google.
Tero, Tero, Tero. Here is a link to my latest EP Tomoyo-San in Another World on bandcamp. It came out last October with a preorder five months before that. So far, I made six US dollars on that EP which had three extremely short tracks. The EP is also licensed with a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial 3.0 license. I'd be kidding if I said I'm raking in the dough, yet to my knowledge, you're making a serious argument that your product has "high demand" that one person downloaded your program which has DRM which made fewer sales than my EP which has a sharable creative commons license.
Why is zophar's domain still up? They don't distribute ROMs, they only distribute emulators and music from the games, yet Nintendo's Donkey-Kong-rampage against ROM sites didn't target them (despite them going after people who uploaded their music in the past; I'm not sure there's a good control case with emulators, though).
Why is that? Is Zophar next on the chopping block? Should they be worried?
Can I export/convert a fiction to epub and share it with other people?
If you’re the author in question, then yes. We’ve even made the process easier via an epub exporter provided in the Author Premium subscription.
Regarding the same question, if you are not the author of the work in question, doing this with other people’s writing violates our Terms of Service and is a bannable offense. It would also be extremely disrespectful toward authors who share their writing with you. If you enjoy an author’s work, show your appreciation by following and rating his or her fiction and not by pirating it.
To be honest, I totally forgot the "and share it with other people?" clause of the question, so it's a reading comprehension fail on my part. My bad!

There's a ginormous gap in demand between the music sold on major labels and meshpage. I mean, you can measure it in light years.
So, Jonathan Coulton and Cory Doctorow are terrible? Fuck you. They're awesome.

Obviously I have total of 2189 views and 413 downloads, but the trend is downward for older products. $6 is the total revenue.
So you've made the same amount of money for DRM'd Meshpage as I did for a CC-licensed 3-song EP I released 33 days ago? Okay.

So "The ends justify the means"? I would say "Now you've shown us your true colors, Koby" but those were apparent quite a while back.
