Don't yall just love opening up the Way back machine page and loading up your playlist and using that instead of Spotify?
Fucking idiots.
yeah I was wondering what has music to do with the wayback machine?
The Internet Archive does more than just the Wayback Machine.
They have a project called Great78, to archive every 78 RPM record, since they are deteriorating.
The lawsuits from the music firms are taking issue with that, depsite no-one using it as a replacement for buying or streaming music. The "Damages" are bullshit.
Funding the lawsuit, and potentially losing it does threaten the Wayback Machine, and the archive as a whole.
I disagree with the big labels, preservation is important and they are not selling this music anyways (at least not as scratchy old 78 recordings) but... I do stream a lot from the archive and I am not alone. There are apps for a ton of live music, all with bands that agreed to it.
But There is even a 78 app for listening to the 78's.
I won't use Spotify though.
m3u text based playlists kick ass. Everything else... Meh.

this is why I just be buying CDs, cassettes, vinyls and BandCamp/ whatever digital download platform the artist uses and putting it on Jellyfin. Can't buy from the artist directly? well, then we participate the computings oldest profession.
Porn?
yes exactly, and nothing else that could possibly be illegal that would implicate me in any sort of case.
Yarrrr
Buy direct from artists. Otherwise...
I will get change.org tattooed on my nut sack if anyone can show me proof of a change.org petition changing anything.
Alone, a petition doesn't have any effect. But it's a tool to publicize a cause, and a way to create a movement. Some had a strong effect.
Please me know if you get a picture of a tattooed ball sack, I have a kink
I dont believe you do have this kink you speak of. And you can easily just share where the rest of us can find this kink if you continue to uphold this statement with any intent to convince people that you do in fact have this job

The only thing it changes is the amount of spam you receive after they sell off your info. The same goes for VoteBlue.
Historically, they have had impact however with this administration....
It's the internet activist's most powerful weapon... A TEXT FILE
This is an amazing example of how stupid this situation is:
(Adam Neely)
They're mostly focusing on pitch. They're not focusing on rhythm. They're not focusing on timbre. They're focusing on a series of notes. You are INCREDIBLY limited in what you can do with those notes. Not to mention the whole step/ half step pattern.
Edit: I know this is random, but one of my instructors was a backup singer for Katie Perry, and she sucked. If you can find an Asian man with a bald head doing a head bob in the background of Katie Perry concert, I'll give you 10+ points. He also sounds 10× better than her, lmao.
It's worse man.
Axis of Awesome has a song called "Four Chord Song" where they show that essentially every pop song is just four chords.
Four fucking chords.
Your paying for lyrics.
So first, music isn't just chords. Second, there's only so many combinations that actually sound good. There's a whole field of music theory around this. Chord progressions kind of set the tone of the song. Different countries actually have different favored progressions - it's kind of interesting.
You should look into it. Because it sounds like you're just mad at how music works.

Are named from the petition, fuck these corporate ghouls
Well, okay but that's a relatively new thing. In the olden times the record industry was very honorab-ahahahahaha ahhhhhh fuck. Yeah, no they've always been crooks and scum. But sometimes they did good by accident. That was before the accountants took over, though. Way back.
Like when blank music cd’s (specifically for music cd copiers) cost more because they knew people were pirating CDs?
Sure, or the death of DAT, the overcharging of printed CDs, longboxes, there's a huge list of terrible things.
Signed it, wether it helps or not worth the effort

That's why we pay an extra on any Hardware that could possibly be used to pirate it, so that such lawsuits aren't neccessary, right? Right?
Thats only in some countries iirc.
Capitalism is dead, and the labels were part of the poison. This is a death rattle for recording companies. Parasites
fuck capatalists man, will destroy any good in the world, with their short sited fodder for the profit machine.
Guess I'll increase my monthly donation and boycott the recording industry. Time for torrents.
There's plenty of music available to listen to, entire centuries of music and more hours of music you can possibly listen to. There's no need to listen and give money to majors.
Fuck that just Rrr the fuckers
Back when 4chan was a small cesspool we took down the recording industry, we can do it again with Spotify and all the streaming services.
We beat them once we will do it again.
Anyone else not being allowed to sign this?
link to actual lawsuit/claims?
