The commercial nature of their player is not the issue. Technology is not the issue. Those, as you have said, are just tools.
This is an issue of controlling the content we all on this group have created and how it is represented, and who gets credit and rewarded for it. Especially when the guidelines are clearly posted in the media itself, the feed they are pulling it from, and easily available to anybody who bothers to do take far less time and effort then all us vloggers did in creating the works in the first place. In all honesty I don't care if a site links to, streams, or copies, our content; hell our CC encourages it. I believe people should have the right to take a piece of content and distribute as they see fit; from their pc to their portable players to their website, etc. As long as they follow our very simple license; state the content is from us, and don't profit from it without checking with us first. I can provide many examples and scenarios to illustrate how and why this works. But you are obviously intelligent enough to work it out on your own. In any case, when people represent themselves as being THE location of all of an artist' work, when they profit from it (and those flashy ads are screaming money), and when they go about it in such a sloppy manner, it very much crosses the line. Again, this is not about technology. This is not about copyright. This is about making sure those who deserve credit get it. And all of us here deserve that. That is my final word on this matter. --- In [email protected], "Lucas Gonze" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Right.
