      I mean if we were arguing about anything else, like the economy generally instead of just "the creative industry", this would be a straightforward so-called "neoliberal" argument "Yeah we had lots more unions back in the day but also more racism, so hey"

      "Is it possible to have unions without racism? No one knows for sure but let's just assume it's unlikely and that the way everything is now is for the best"

      The Flipside is equally unknowable? Like maybe in a magical world we keep both the gatekeeping required to lock down copyright and somehow also remove the part where those gates keep the queers out but.... based on what?

      Okay so I actually want to know what the hell you mean by this In what sense did piracy actually make it easier for queer people to get paying media jobs, or for queer people who DON'T get paying media jobs to make stuff for free

      Piracy is a side effect of accessibility, one that cannot be eliminated without eliminating that accessibility. The thing that makes it easier for people to get stuff is the same thing that makes it easier for people to create and publish stuff. Not sure what part is confusing

      Okay, well, I disagree No one actually wants to set off a giant EMP and make the Internet as a whole never have existed, people (including Tim Berners-Lee) just wish it hadn't been designed with the assumption all data on it was for everyone to share

      The fucked up thing about Web 1.0 was that it was easy as pie to just put stuff online but controlling and curating access to it was a big tangled mess, which meant having any kind of career (even a non-commercial one) was very hard

      Which is why Web 2.0 is in fact a story about the middlemen and the gatekeepers coming back and becoming extremely rich and powerful What Doctorow calls "the stacks", the narrowing of the web into a few sites controlled by billionaires

      Why should some bearded hipster dude take a massive cut of what everyone on Patreon makes just for providing a server and a brand name Why did blogs vanish in favor of an account you make on Facebook, Medium or Twitter

      Look, comrade, I'm all for getting out the guillotine, but we aren't there yet apparently, and it seems to me that the old system doesn't solve that problem? Harvey Weinstien still existed?

      The biggest difference between the "old system" and the "new system" was more people were making money under the old system And I don't actually give much credence to the argument that greater diversity is only possible if people aren't making money

          Again it's like the whole bad faith "We had unions when we had Jim Crow" thing

          I mean that's not the argument but sure. The argument is that less money is required to be safe when there is a larger and more accessible community of people to support you

          And, that those communities absolutely did not exist in the same way when it first needed to prove that it was a sufficiently profitable venture BEFORE it existed
