      the guy who made 'where the water tastes like wine', a far more recent game - and even features Sting in it! - has a thread all about this, talking about the realities of piracy and where the problems are, and that this shit just isn't worth it!

      authors bitching about piracy are consistently aiming at the wrong fucking target. piracy is gonna happen no matter what. it's a whack a mole problem and doesn't help an author any to focus on it tons. the real problems facing them is **everybody is broke**.

      fucking goddamn no real wage increases in decades, people working 3 goddamn jobs including the authors themselves, cost of living skyrocketed into the fucking stratosphere, these same publishers getting *richer* the whole time. PIRATES aren't the problem here.

      The perceived value of labor in our society has been steadily driven towards zero, yes The Big Tech "information wants to be free" culture, it seems to me, is part of this It goes hand in hand with the gig economy mindset

      "part of this", lmao, to what degree, jeopardy boy, does some vaguely anarchist motherfuckers with a mediocre manifesto on their pirate website influence this shit, and not, y'know, the billionaire companies with all the control.

      nobody would fucking have to worry about pirates - and the amount of pirates would go down, to boot! their income would go drastically up! - if everybody and their grandma wasn't starving while working sixty hours a week!

      fucking streaming destroying royalties, indie publishers doing 'race to the bottom' price slashes on their own work because EVERYBODY IS BROKE and the only income you can get from the majority is off people with maybe a dollar or two to spare, and everybody shits about PIRATES?

      Okay you think these things are somehow entirely unrelated? The race to the bottom is clearly because of a baseline expectation that everyone is competing with a price of zero dollars Spotify *explicitly said this* when talking about why their rates are so low

      SOUNDS LIKE SPOTIFY, A COMPANY WITH MONEY TO FUCKING BURN, SHOULD EAT THE COSTS OR THEY COULD JUST BE, Y'KNOW, SAYING THAT AS COVER TO DO EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO PAY NOTHING WHILE REAPING MASSIVE PROFIT BUT A COMPANY WOULD NEVER DO THAT!

      Okay, so why don't the publishers - or the artists themselves, going indie - just tell Spotify to fuck off take their music off the service, and just sell it directly to the fans

      I mean, they're getting fucked because people refuse to pay for music No one is actually stopping them from directly appealing to the fans "Hey just pay us instead of supporting this parasitic middleman" Except that it wouldn't fucking work

          no, many ARE being stopped from selling directly to the fans, thanks to their shitty contracts from the publishers. they are first exploited by the record companies, and then again exploited by spotify.

          like fucking hell we have massive history and all sorts of talk about this from the artists themselves! we have Prince who was infamously struggling with the corporations over this kind of shit, which was why he was so defensive of his work!
