Comment Free Artistry (Score 1, Insightful) 434
I realize this isn't in the spirit of capitalisim of which I'm a strong supporter of, but why don't the people and yes, I mean you, me and our mothers, just do away with the RIAA and MPAA?
Think about it, it used to be artistry was done for the love of art. If you got paid for it, it's because someone else's love of your art. Plays, concerts, paintings ( images ). If the artists and the public agreed to remove the greedy middleman, then the problem would be resolved. Easier said than done, I know.
So let people distribute all media types free and clear? It exposes people to more art, all types of art. Through the p2p file sharing I've been exposed to many types of art I wouldn't have been previously exposed to. Some I liked, some I didn't. If I liked it enough, I become a fan and may wish to pay for it. Whether it be to attend a musical concert, go see/buy a movie, or wish to attend an art museum to see good art in real life.
The sooner all people accept the fact that the sooner all information in any form is free and available to the public, the sooner everyone wins. ( Except for of course the RIAA & MPAA. )
