His specific targeting of harassment via Facebook should be criminal harassment. However, the video he made I would allow as his free speech. Though targeted posting of the video on the family/friends Facebooks should be criminal.
And if you were paying off your car with the sales of your song then you would have no car then. Immaterial products have real market value.
While I believe the major holders of copyrights should find a better way to handle licensing I do respect the loss of value these companies face. So while I wish they would leave copyright law alone I understand why they are doing what they are.
But none of this material was ever in public domain, so it was never yours. So it couldn't have been stolen from you because it is not yours. You expected the laws to stay the same, but they didn't.
Kinda just seems like a whiny justification for downloading copyrighted material. The author seems to get him/herself worked up about law change and then jumps off the deep end by declaring: copyright is over. As if some childish declaration like that has any bearing beyond this person's sense of personal power. After that I just see name calling.
So this person can have their opinion, but if they get called to court on copyright violations they will see that copyright is very much alive
So is it just songs and movies that are "immoral" to hold for more than 70 years? Why not all possessions? Old houses at to cultural value; lets seize them after 70 years for the community.
By participating, not spamming, as much as you can in the online communities of people who would buy your kind of music. Whether it be twitter or forums there is always a community to connect to
It's like this: If you create something that can be continually sold, and does continue to sell, then you get to collect money for as long as that is true
If you want an income like that then publish\create you own scalable product.
So say you're an artist, independent or signed, and some one hacks and steals the tracks you've been working on. You haven't been marketing them, so the person who stole them should be able to sell their stolen goods?
Difficult to get into the music market? Anyone can get their music up for sale on Itunes, Amazon(both digital and printed CD on Demand), and collect ad revenue off of Youtube music videos with maybe a week's effort and no start up costs.
The publishing industry is massively enabling independent artists compared to how it was 10 or 15 years ago

It's just the same line they used 30 years ago

Big money has big influence on big everything; everywhere

Because then when a 20 something artist dies young(I.E Sid Vicious) the studio would lose their investment
Not only that, but it would incentive killing of artists as a way to attack companies.
Because the products/services provided by chimney sweeps are not scalable

Ummm, I gotta go to the bathroom. I'm pretty sure I can expect my lower intestines to feel better after that
Maybe one day they'll invade themselves
These rebel forces decide they don't like America, and then use the training and weaponry we provided against ourselves.
Ummm...Good for them? This doesn't seem that technologically advanced of an idea
What happens?
Liability lawsuits
Many of these people are not aloud to invest in any debt lower than a AAA rating
Why not a social third rib?
Or a Social big toe
Or maybe a social thumb? Thumbs are pretty useful
Great job Google
Don't forget all the illegal fireworks people buy there too
Can't forget Boomcity
