The connections made between artist expression and listeners are precious, rare, vital.
You’re saying it’s ok to decimate it - as long it’s replaced with some “plausible” proxy? Plausible decided by who, the artist or business requirements?
- alach11 5y agoThe argument is that this exists on a spectrum. The best way to get the artists true intention is to watch a film in a well-calibrated theater. Then a high-quality Blu-ray. Web streaming involves even more compromise. We tolerate Netflix releasing films in less than 4k. They do that because of a practical business benefit (cost). Similarly, Universal is making a compromise in the artist's vision to meet a business requirement. I think if the compromise is sufficiently small and the business benefit is sufficiently large, it's ok to do this.
