@zotz Yeah, I agree :-) There's probably considerable room for nuance here.
-
@csolisr I've got enough to write a more complete opinion. 140 chars at a time is too awkward. :-) Looking forward the rebuttals. ;-D
-
@zotz I'm just happy to see another artist walking my way. I don't require them to make the whole trip with me.
-
@zotz To censor my exposure to artists who don't buy into my free-culture beliefs is simply too extreme for me.
-
@zotz And art relies even more than other human activities on widely-varying points of view.
-
@zotz If you try to push things too far, then you get into areas where political framing and worldview vary wildly.
-
@zotz I try to keep my need for "ideological purity" in other very, very low. :-) Things like a belief in very basic human rights.
-
@zotz Until then, it's just "stupid" or perhaps "unwise", but not "evil". Like high taxes (or very low taxes) or tech export laws.
-
@zotz ...I don't really see it crossing that line until copyright is used to censor political speech and suppress dissent. Then it's "Evil"
-
@zotz I may think copyright as implemented is bad policy. But I don't see it as a human rights violation (at least up to a point)...
-
I've screwed up the threading. <SIGH> I don't think this work 140 chars at a time! :-)
-
Or: artist A release 1000 free music tracks (of 10,000 total). Artist B releases 100 free music tracks of 100 total... who did more good?
-
... will you blacklist an artist who releases all but one work under a free license? I think that's absurd.
-
Obviously, it's not AS good as releasing their entire opus, but I may apply the same slippery slope as you...
-
And as far as I am concerned, an artist who releases a work (even as a promotion) under free-license has done something good.
-
Thus if an artist finds it necessary to use the conventional copyright industry to make a living, I don't hold that against them.
-
I cannot accept the idea that it is better to not create at all than to create under copyright restrictions.
-
... it is something a society may reasonably do to encourage desired behavior. So long as it doesn't go too far.
