the European Commission instead wants rights holders to fight back against this wave of protests.
Bring it! Most rights holders are spindly things who need the advantage monopolies grant them to get anything accomplished, my potsmoking grandma with 20 cats living under her trailer could kick their ass.
It's gonna be like a monastery, 'cept instead of calling eachother 'brother' or 'sister' you just call them 'Pirate'. "Hey Pirate Mike how's it going?"
For older artists having your music on Youtube is essential to keep your songs from being forgotten since the labels tend to dump old artists to make way for new music where profits are higher.
This is true of Tangerine Dream, I have read from one of them that there are more of their songs available on YouTube than they actually have anymore. From what I understand some of the labels that owned them destroyed alot of their master copies.
Of course we will. Stupid takedowns gain stupid amounts of attention because people can't help but notice and point out stupid in it's natural habitat.
I defend copyright because it is the lifeblood of the creative industries and of democracy.
No, you defend it because it is the lifeblood of your silly obsession with power.
Many of my works or potential future works are restricted by copyright, this is far from the "lifeblood" you claim. More like a bloodsucking.
Please stop speaking for artists as if you are one you have no clue and you damn sure don't care for our real problems that would mean giving up your monopoly which you aren't willing to do.
Bottom line you are not trying to help artists. You're trying to help your wallet, and we're just chattel for your paycheck. Go jump off a bridge, or atleast stop living under it.

A lot has to be said for the theory that this is based on jealousy and resentment. Do media industries actually despise consumers?

Copyright/IP
There can't be a "cultural disaster" we already went through it, now it's starting to recover.
The disaster Morrison is talking about is actually the decline of copyright/IP, these bozos honestly believe that those two = culture.
