I hear you. I guess I am also trying to balance my moral conundrum with an acceptance / understanding of the times. Copyleft or various arguments about the nature of intellectual property is debatable, but I guess as I read your words, I was trying to think about the days of Napster and Metallica. Now with sites like Mycelium popping up to try and streamline the whole process so that if you put in content that is recognized, you automatically divide the rights and profits. Depending on if it is for charity, education, profit or artist collaboration... Steemit does not do that yet and the idea that I get lured into here to give my content just-as-easily as any other blogging or social media platform like the regular shlub I am, now suddenly I need to treat to content carefully because I stumbled in here and my blitherings are construed as busking for crypto. I COULD blog off of here, but I don't get blockchain, I don't get encryption, ownership of my views (even if they are of others or simple nods, points or quiet adoration). I see your side as a photographer and I believe you are already empowered with many tools to protect your work (plaster your name across everything) but like anything on the internet. once you put it out there. it is gone. Your online presence will be condensed into a tiny file at the end of your life and everyone you know or did will probably be viewable to future generations, this conversation included. Existentially, is your impact /guiding principle here about your credit, crypto control and legacy or letting yourself get frazzled by those dang kids and their disrespect of how things should be, while simultaneously being selective about which beats you dance to and which music is acceptable? Just playing devils advocate because I am stuck in an agreegument.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
what the future will bring is what we teach our children , i raised my kid with respect for art and artists , cause with out that respect why would someone even bother to be creative and make something new. And then we would be watching the same tv series over and over again because there is no funding to make something new. Same with the music industry, and journalism and research . Same with local food stores vist the baker and butcher store cause if the supermarkets gets to much power you might end up eating 3d printed food .
Wise Words my friend. So help me out here. IF I have a song I'd like you to hear and If I post it here in the comments. What is your feeling? I need to contact the heirs of Patsy Cline/Kurt Cobain first? You need to make sure no one upvotes it because then you too are culpable by receiving crypto for my music choices? I too was raised to respect the arts and also to pursue them in their own right. Capitalism creates a false scarcity mentality where ownership becomes important because it is not like food and housing are readily available. I can't play you a song to make you happy because I'll be stealing sound waves by releasing them into the air. Can you think of any situations you are conflicted in seeing, doing or receiving? I think a lot of our mentality is shaped by mediums ideologies and beliefs we might not question due to the cognitive dissonance it might cause us. Maybe your lines are all in focus.
that depends on the copyrights on that song , same with movies you are allowed to watch it with friends and family but not to broadcast it when you buy a dvd / cd .
