I would love to see compulsory licensing schemes for audio and video streaming like they have for radio broadcasts. Maybe allow 1 or 2 years of exclusivity, but anything else is fair game to stream by anyone as long as they pay the license fee.
- sneak 5y agoWe don't need compulsory licensing; we already have piracy. Everything is already available, forever, for free, without DRM.
- sdoering 5y agoSome people would love to compensate the original creator. And some people would be willing to pay to be able to easily consume content legally. The problem is that the current state of affairs is fragmented and not set up in a way that ensures that I as a consumer can be sure that I can consume said content again tomorrow. I pay for access but am not ensured that the content I like is going to be available. That makes piracy an option for some.
- bayindirh 5y agoThe best thing is iTunes store IMHO. I start to listen an album via Spotify. I buy it via iTunes if I continue to listen it. If I really like that album that much, I find a lossless copy. If I can buy a lossless copy from the original artist, I go that route first. RadioHead's leading the pack on that. I have a 24bit wav album from them.
- mrja 5y agothis would be nice if artists which one can relate to had any correlation to how, and, more importantly when, society affords them their existence.
