I don't know if you visit other sites or not, nor do I care, but this site is the epitome of one that is free and "open".
case in point == "fuck" or TechDirt. is a bunch of puss ass freetards or "some US judges suck sometimes". Put that shit up on msnbc or a cnn and see what comes of it.
DVD: Remains a viable form of media distribution that provides some semblance of ownership and convenience. Selection availability is somewhat limited. Relatively costly. Portability is good though initial hurdles to strip and rip can be deemed difficult to some. The media is somewhat fragile.
Streaming: Popular and convenient. Selections vary widely though current professional catalogs are severely restricted. Serves professional content producers and amateurs equally. Dependencies on players, operating systems, network availability. Relatively inexpensive though somewhat burdensome time limitations. Portability is nil.
Torrents: Popular, convenient and incredibly efficient. Selections are dependent upon the global catalog (read: vast). Dependencies on local storage available. Relatively free(unfortunate but such is the current case). Catch and release (like=keep, dislike=delete, repeat as necessary). Supplants VCR, CD, Cassette, DVD and Streaming options.
Theaters: Popular - is an experience, an event. Can be expensive and concessions are an enormous expenditure. Advantages are the experience of the delivery platform. Can be considered a risky venture. Extremely limited selections, quality (of both the venue and the content) and availability.
Current distribution, delivery mechanisms and restrictions, licensing and other requirements are adversely affected by a management tier that is wholly ineffective given current global market conditions and are imposing undue and unnecessary burdens, requirements, limitations and expectations on both their clients (producers and creators in general) and their clients' customers. They are adversely influential to governments and legislation. Monopolistic behaviors. Oft considered to be a cartel in their use of strong-arm "agreements" and contracts, threats, litigation, seen to employ grossly illegal, unethical and immoral tactics. Mysterious and undue influence on governing bodies. Protectionist to the point of being detrimental to their own needs and effectiveness as well as to the needs of their clients and their customers. Historically short-sighted. A veritable threat to progress on many fronts.
Customer satisfaction varies greatly with each delivery mechanism. Client satisfaction varies widely though, for the most part, currently remains beneficial to their largest, top-tier creative organizations, which happens to remain to be their primary means of finance.
Well you've done a fine job of painting a picture however I think the finishing touches should really be completed by someone else as you're, clearly, too short-sighted about this overall issue that you've already bagged and tagged what's possible and what's not. Or, in other words, you're a worker, not a queen. I will grant "easier to access information" to you though. Nothing like a whack with the blunt, heavy obvious.
Getting these cretins to "try" to meet even half the way to half-way is an uphill battle.
The entertainment budget should be per piece and not per package - that much is pretty clear. The package deals have been the butter to your breads. There is no more wheat. These deals are and always have been.. half-baked servings of ass. Full unfettered access is here. If you can't capitalize on it then pull out.
"Do you honestly expect anyone to believe if there was complete transparency..hysteria?"
That's a pretty fucking hypothetical question now isn't it?
Copyright protections/extensions/bullshit are completely out of control. That's all I know.
The flow of information is also out of control - that much I love.
Figuring out how to "capitalize" in this environment, for those wishing to continue to make a living in it, is not my problem, however, I'm quite certain that one can without this "but piracy" nonsense. To say nothing of the corruption of the governing process.
You're right, you're very right. I get potty mouthy. I'm not quite apologetic, as it were, however, like quite a few other folks, I'm just shooting, not aiming, just shooting. FACT's little UK ordeal has sort of pushed me into caring much, much less about any distributors plight.
And so, transparency.. I intended that to be all the way around and not just TPP. That'll be clear soon enough. It's the entire process of this fourth arm of government that's really ticking me off, thoroughly. Add to that what would appear to be a complete and utter disregard for the rights of the public and you'll get equal amounts in irritation from me.
As for "piracy" as a target offensive. Infringement is disgustingly easy. Disgustingly. Which would indicate not a failure in law but a failure with those pushing new laws, agreements, restrictions &c. A failure to function in a reality that is so profound and distinct that the *only* way these folks can swim is further criminalization of folks where most of these folks just drifting with the current.
As for being less of a dick - forget about it. I've no illusions of being taken seriously so why should I fret about it. Besides, you have no name and we are not associates of any sort.
If I'm free to rant then rant I shall. You, likewise, are free to completely ignore rants.
You know what makes me nervous there dickhead? That fact that you think the only fucking problem going on right now is whether or not you can continue to milk a dead cow without pissing of just so many people as to cause a complete fucking meltdown in a society that, typically, does not completely fucking melt down. You fucking whore maximalists are so completely fucking bent on manipulation that you're now engaging in and preparing for war. A war over who gets to distribute what and where and to whom.
You know what? Fuck you. You're a cunt and that's not FUD packed.
Transparency is not a fucking joke and your use of "FUD" is pathetically ironic. This is our world. If you're so concerned about your precious IP then perhaps you should stop betting the fucking farm on it because we really don't give a shit whether you're making it or not. And we definitely don't give a shit who you're supposedly "representin" so eat a dick.
Have at it. Hell, I might even pay you if you can land even one. I do so love tricks. Better yet you may want to get some CIA/blackOps contractor ass and get yourself some rendition going to assist you in the support of your new business model. What's a little rendition amongst reciprocal pole lickers?
Actually I think that the nutshell is that current "piracy enforcement" does nothing to actually prevent the piracy because they're smarter than you are and, really, could care less what any gov does. It's the tromping, stomp fest of this that or the other "right" in the process. Not too mention the corrupt bullshit "businesses" that are dangling the fucking money carrot demanding we help prop up woefully outdated business practices so Mr. Fuck can still make his buck.
The successful business model will never result in a continuing prop up of cunts with wishes and kisses.
"Horrifying" is a horrifyingly understated description.
If there are truly some folks around that "support" this event I applaud you as you are grotesque, disingenuous, blatantly one-sided ("my side" as it were) and a blatant threat the the rule of law, any law, the actual rule of the actual law. This example is a mind numbing assault on said rule bearing with it potentially disastrous consequences.
If this is how you choose to represent your interests, much less actual artists, then you, truly, deserve the loss of your heads.
Judge Evans? You do dishonor, in the highest degree, to your stated profession. Aggravated dishonor even.
This little event is kind of the frosting for me I think.
Fuck copyright.
Fuck the artist's "representation".
Fuck the extra-legal systems.
and if you support or are enthusiastic about this travesty of justice then.. fuck you.
Ebay is ass right up there with paypal, I think. I am simply astonished at the amount of 'paypal' only listings. Pal? Nobody that forms walls of distrust such as these folks do, in the name of whatever the hell their actions align with, is a pal-o-mine.
Is there something special about sellers jockeying for feedback to the point of 'if you have something not stellar to say and actually say it we will rip you a new ass' that I should know about? You sellers let these guys skim your revenue why? Oh right because Google search would have your site listing on the way-down-low. I get it. Torrents suffer from that too, I think.
I think I had a point or an opinion about something, somewhere, else. It's gone. In lieu of knowing what I was thinking on a minute ago, you know, about the article, that I really don't want to read again to make an attempt at recall, I will simply insult bob because he is not really bob after all, I think. bob may be dangerous, I would go so far as to say that he may even have issues with cats, hard to say. Anyway, bob needs rehabilitation as he suffers from .. something, something long and official sounding that I can't pronounce, or spell, but he suffers from it. I'm sure of it. So sure that I, well I don't know but I'm certainly sure of it. Of that I am certain. Certainly. and for those that just wasted 30 seconds - hat tip. These things take time. Time! That was it. Fuck me, it had nothing to do with the article..
Welcome, Hachette, to the new normal. Glad you could make its acquaintance. I hope you too can learn to prosper before you tie that bloodied rope around your own necks.
It's funny, the things that people do, when rules serve a game nobody wishes to play any more and the kid that made up the rules of the game is left with a some dirt and some rocks that they're made to kick and throw as if that would entice people to come back and play. A bit sad, actually.
Anyway, welcome again. And, if you find that you can't get along then perhaps you can play with these other media asshats. They're very much into that dirt kicking, rock throwing game. They're very adept at playing with themselves as well.
This one I know - it's label maths. That band made no money, didn't do drugs, did not do jail time, did not break even and will be forgotten in no time. They still owe us 10 large.
They do seem to think a lot of things that conflict with the preferences of those that choose (or not) to keep them aloft.
Law or no law - I perceive their actions as long going and ongoing infractions against people. All people.
The world where these guys now find themselves playing in grows a little bit closer, as a people, every day. The governments notwithstanding.
Let them try to make their rules - but, henceforth, now is as easy as it's going to be for rule making and business plan raking. Yours is broken, you can only keep breaking other plans for so long until you're totally and completely recognized for the whores you so blatantly seem to be.
