Comment Better copyright law! (Score 1) 322
Its right! You shouldnt force the artists to have their music published over the internet for free!
But are this the artists who dont want this? Mostly not, I think! This are the music labels! They prevent the artists to decide over their own music because they force them to agree to bad contracts that makes them to give up all intellectual property of their work!
This looks for my like modern slavery or working conditions in completely free economy like they were in the age of industrial revolution!
So they not changing the copyright law to ban such slavery! The original creator of the intellectual product should ALWAYS keep the right for his property! EXCLUSIVE contracts should be made illegal because they cheat the artist!
With such a changed copyright law artists could alternatively offer their music over Napster and perhaps make some extra bugs although the recording industry is against this (for good reasons for their own sake).
In the meantime until we get this great law ;-), I would suggest to donate money to artists you really admire. Remember: If you donate 10$, this is perhaps the equal for the artist to 5-10 CDs sold by the Label. This could make possible more independence of the artist from the label! The artist could even make more cash by publishing the music for free than by a contract with a label!
Wouldnt it be a better world if you get things for free and pay for the things you like?
I know I am utopian - unfortunately
Amen
