Comments on: How does the music industry not get it? Let me count the ways… http://thurston.halfcat.org/blog/2005/06/17/how-do-the-music-and-content-industries-not-get-it-let-me-count-the-ways/ We are the people your IT department warned you about Wed, 10 Mar 2010 22:13:59 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.5 by: Chandler Howell http://thurston.halfcat.org/blog/2005/06/17/how-do-the-music-and-content-industries-not-get-it-let-me-count-the-ways/#comment-595 Fri, 17 Jun 2005 15:22:28 +0000 http://thurston.halfcat.org/blog/2005/06/17/how-do-the-music-and-content-industries-not-get-it-let-me-count-the-ways/#comment-595 Paul- Thanks for the correction on authorship. Duly noted and corrected. I'm guessing you're referring to <a href="http://weblog.ipcentral.info/archives/2005/06/casual_piracy.html" rel="nofollow">This IP Central posting</a> which refers to one of the articles in Lasica's entry? If not, let me know (cubicle at halfcatdotorg) the correct link and I'll be glad to add the one you were thinking of.. As is probably already evident, I feel that piracy is a natural response to the crap music that is produced today. Basically, why take the risk that I'm going to pay $20 for some piece of crap that I'll listen to once when I can pay nothing to discover that I've already heard the only work worth listening to from an artist? IF an artist makes music that is worth listening to, I'll celebrate his entire catalog. If I think they're making crap, I'll mitigate the risk of getting burned by downloading first. Paul-

His book is an excellent read and ties together many practical and theoretical threads in the current copyright war. For the opposing view, see this post by Patrick Ross over at IP Central.
