Another reason corps lobbied for digital and killed off analog as much as they could: easier to control and charge money. Once I own a tape/reel/record, I OWN it, you cannot take it from me without physically taking it. Stop using online digital media for stuff you actually care about.

Also, move both sites out of the USA, NOW.

The US is not a safe place for information and shudder facts

Back when 4chan was a small cesspool we took down the recording industry, we can do it again with Spotify and all the streaming services.

We beat them once we will do it again.

Thanks! I’ve been looking for something to run on my desktop when I’m not using it.

Guess I'll increase my monthly donation and boycott the recording industry. Time for torrents.

Anyone else not being allowed to sign this?

That's why we pay an extra on any Hardware that could possibly be used to pirate it, so that such lawsuits aren't neccessary, right? Right?

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 10 points 1 month ago

Thats only in some countries iirc.

There's plenty of music available to listen to, entire centuries of music and more hours of music you can possibly listen to. There's no need to listen and give money to majors.

Fuck that just Rrr the fuckers

I will get change.org tattooed on my nut sack if anyone can show me proof of a change.org petition changing anything.

[–] CalipherJones@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

It's the internet activist's most powerful weapon... A TEXT FILE

[–] WrenFeathers@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

The only thing it changes is the amount of spam you receive after they sell off your info. The same goes for VoteBlue.

[–] zloubida@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Alone, a petition doesn't have any effect. But it's a tool to publicize a cause, and a way to create a movement. Some had a strong effect.

Please me know if you get a picture of a tattooed ball sack, I have a kink

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I dont believe you do have this kink you speak of. And you can easily just share where the rest of us can find this kink if you continue to uphold this statement with any intent to convince people that you do in fact have this job

(Just having some fun)

[–] Forester@pawb.social 3 points 1 month ago

Historically, they have had impact however with this administration....

[–] Gronk@aussie.zone 35 points 1 month ago

UMG, Capitol Records, Concord Bicycle Assets, CMGI Recorded Music Assets, Sony Music Entertainment, and Arista Music

Are named from the petition, fuck these corporate ghouls

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 17 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Capitalism is dead, and the labels were part of the poison. This is a death rattle for recording companies. Parasites

[–] Franklin@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 month ago

fuck capatalists man, will destroy any good in the world, with their short sited fodder for the profit machine.

Oh, its a change.org.

I'll sign it, but it feels slightly useless.

[–] huppakee@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

Signed it, wether it helps or not worth the effort

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

link to actual lawsuit/claims?

[–] Gerudo@lemm.ee 95 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Don't yall just love opening up the Way back machine page and loading up your playlist and using that instead of Spotify?

Fucking idiots.

[–] AugustWest@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I disagree with the big labels, preservation is important and they are not selling this music anyways (at least not as scratchy old 78 recordings) but... I do stream a lot from the archive and I am not alone. There are apps for a ton of live music, all with bands that agreed to it.

But There is even a 78 app for listening to the 78's.

I won't use Spotify though.

m3u text based playlists kick ass. Everything else... Meh.
