I applaud those artists and I think we should promote and support them.
People who make content available for a larger number of people than just
"those who can pay" are the people who will build a better future.
So, I believe you will agree with me that we should share those artists
musics instead of the ones who DON'T want their music shared that way....
right?
Like I have said, the one who creates is the one who sets the rules.
What I say is that pirating (illegaly sharing) something that has a "no
share" license is wrong because we are not respecting the choice of the
person who created it in the first place. If we want to share, we should
share things that have a "share me" license. Like those artists you mention,
we should share and promote them. Truth is when we pirate (illegaly share) a
movie that has a "no share license" we are taking away the attention that
could be pointed towards CC movies, students movies, amateur movies... What I
say is not that "sharing is bad", what I say is "sharing is good when you
share what is supposed to be shared". Anything else is ENFORCING and not
ENCOURAGING. If a person uses a "no share" license, it's wrong that we force
him to do so. Don't like the license? Don't listen to his music, don't buy
his CD, don't go to his concert! He will eventually learn the lesson. But
when you pirate you actually say "I like what you do, please produce more,
and in time DRM will stop me from copying your CD".
GOT IT? I am not against sharing, I just don't like to have people saying
they are "sharing" what as a "don't share me" license attached to it. Even
less when it's a website full of ads (someone is not sharing but making
profit out of other people's work).
