This is something creators need to get better at. Creators need a "Pirated my media but want to make sure we still get paid? Click here!" button. I want to pay a lot of artists, but I also don't want them to think I want to pay for the DRM'd form.
- ctdonath 9y agoNo way their distribution contracts would allow that.
- CaptSpify 9y agoHow would distribution contracts have anything to do with someone wanting to give me money on the side?
- posterboy 9y agoit's competition
- CaptSpify 9y agoThat doesn't make sense though. I'm completely allowed to send an artist money "just because". I'd be extremely surprised if there was any contract that said that wasn't allowed.
- ctdonath 9y agoThere's a difference between someone voluntarily sending an artist money, vs the artist openly soliciting donations in a manner easily construed as advocating piracy.
- CaptSpify 9y agoYeah, but it's hard to tell the difference if worded correctly. It could just be a button saying "send us random money". It doesn't have to be explicitly for piracy.
- smichel17 9y agoDo distribution contracts typically disallow receiving donations?
