Quote from the article: >because SoundScan data is markedly incomplete when it comes to the releases by indie artists who have benefited most from the rise of digital distribution. And that, right there, is the actual reason for the push by the big media giants. Piracy is simply the straw man used to get what they want past an unsuspecting public. What they fear most is the ability of the internet to allow artists to create and then __distribute__ without needing them (the existing media giants) to be gatekeepers and middlemen collecting their share of the revenue along the way. Watch this (14 minutes): http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/en/defend_our_freedom_to_share... What they fear most is that you, the little guy, will be creative and distribute your creativity without involving them as the middlemen. |
