"Explicit music" censorship in music services ? whats your strategy .
How do you deal with this and other censorship . This is one of the many reason why a streaming service can not replace a personal collection . Spotify has both versions and WIMP too, on wimp its not the top item in a search its a bit of hussle to get the real version of a track but you can find it . How are other services and what do they do and what do you do ? Maybe its a cultural thing . Public service Radio here in Sweden sometimes has the delicate problem of getting the "real version" from American labels who assumes a radio station want the "flat earth version" . The Radio here aim to always use the real song as the artist intended it to be . In an international context it can be hard to handle, spotify here in Sweden get some flac for it ;) people are sometimes miffed about having "explicit" stickers in their playlists and complain about it. These servies crosses borders it can be hard for them . In my mind listening to service is private listening not puplic . If a service want to introduce a family filter as option go for it , but it should never be the default strategy just a service for the sensitive listener . My point is that it is an artistic choice if you dont like someones potty mouthed lyrics or political lyrics,simply dont listen to that artist , but do not egress in to others right to do so :) how simple it is . My strategy is to buy and download important stuff and explore via services , once everything goes via a streaming service we are in for a horrible hybrid of Disney and Orwell imho . Any experience on which service is the best regarding free speach issues . please comment . I see some worrying tendencies reading other treads how broadcaster want everyone to use apps done by to them known software or hardware vendors . The god old broadcast concept what about that ? now they want to know who is in the other end all the time ? Sorry for the rambling , maybe my thoughts are not coherent enough rigth now .
