Also, move both sites out of the USA, NOW.
The US is not a safe place for information and shudder facts
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.
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.
yeah I was wondering what has music to do with the wayback machine?
The Internet Archive does more than just the Wayback Machine.
They have a project called Great78, to archive every 78 RPM record, since they are deteriorating. The lawsuits from the music firms are taking issue with that, depsite no-one using it as a replacement for buying or streaming music. The “Damages” are bullshit.
Funding the lawsuit, and potentially losing it does threaten the Wayback Machine, and the archive as a whole.
??? what the fuck are you taking about? You know there are other ways to stream music right? Jellyfin, Gonic, Ampache. All selfhostable and able to use your own media. Theres also indie friendly websites like SoundCloud, BandCamp and (believe it or not) MySpace. Are you really simping for spotify right now?
edit: ok guys I see it was sarcastic now. god forbid someone not understand tone over text on the internet
I’m pretty sure their point is that the two aren’t comparable. No one actually uses archive.org like a music streaming site, thus the suit would be ridiculous.
Big woosh there buddy.
Oh honey
They were being sarcastic.
Those aren’t low-flying airplanes passing overhead.
I will get change.org tattooed on my nut sack if anyone can show me proof of a change.org petition changing anything.
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
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)
The only thing it changes is the amount of spam you receive after they sell off your info. The same goes for VoteBlue.
It’s the internet activist’s most powerful weapon… A TEXT FILE
Historically, they have had impact however with this administration…
this is why I just be buying CDs, cassettes, vinyls and BandCamp/ whatever digital download platform the artist uses and putting it on Jellyfin. Can’t buy from the artist directly? well, then we participate the computings oldest profession.
Porn?
yes exactly, and nothing else that could possibly be illegal that would implicate me in any sort of case.
Yarrrr
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.
its the easiest boycott ever. you can listen to their music while still boycotting them.
also run the archive team warrior if you can. it helps them out with archiving the internet.
Run the what?
maybe they mean this?
Thanks! I’ve been looking for something to run on my desktop when I’m not using it.
Buy direct from artists. Otherwise…
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
Guess I’ll increase my monthly donation and boycott the recording industry. Time for torrents.
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?
Thats only in some countries iirc.
This is an amazing example of how stupid this situation is:
(Adam Neely)
They’re mostly focusing on pitch. They’re not focusing on rhythm. They’re not focusing on timbre. They’re focusing on a series of notes. You are INCREDIBLY limited in what you can do with those notes. Not to mention the whole step/ half step pattern.
Edit: I know this is random, but one of my instructors was a backup singer for Katie Perry, and she sucked. If you can find an Asian man with a bald head doing a head bob in the background of Katie Perry concert, I’ll give you 10+ points. He also sounds 10× better than her, lmao.
It’s worse man.
Axis of Awesome has a song called “Four Chord Song” where they show that essentially every pop song is just four chords.
Four fucking chords.
Your paying for lyrics.
So first, music isn’t just chords. Second, there’s only so many combinations that actually sound good. There’s a whole field of music theory around this. Chord progressions kind of set the tone of the song. Different countries actually have different favored progressions - it’s kind of interesting.
You should look into it. Because it sounds like you’re just mad at how music works.
at least synthesizers actually produce things that don’t sound like a stupid piano or guitar.
I’m curious what the difference between a piano and a stupid piano is in your mind
a piano is an object that uses hammers to strike fibers and induce vibrations in air, a stupid piano is one that performs in a way that is considered “tuned”.
So it’s not stupid if it’s out of tune?
Fuck off, chicken little
And also get off the fuckin’ birdplane
Well, okay but that’s a relatively new thing. In the olden times the record industry was very honorab-ahahahahaha ahhhhhh fuck. Yeah, no they’ve always been crooks and scum. But sometimes they did good by accident. That was before the accountants took over, though. Way back.
Like when blank music cd’s (specifically for music cd copiers) cost more because they knew people were pirating CDs?
Sure, or the death of DAT, the overcharging of printed CDs, longboxes, there’s a huge list of terrible things.
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
