It seems pretty ignorant to expect rights holders to lay down and die while your use their data to make massively profitable systems.

- mrangle 3y ago"Ignorant" is strong language given that for-profit media companies, who are complaining, are rarely citing let alone paying their sources. The takeaway not being that they should start, but that their complaint is likely on shaky ground.
- drekk 3y agoI think it's pretty rational given capitalism's explicit focus on short-term profit at the expense of negative externalities. Workers are replaceable. The US outsourced its manufacturing sector. Now the same people who oversaw that process would like to outsource the service sector. I'm not a fan of the status quo, but it's clearly functioning as designed. The cruelty of this mostly affecting individual artists and their ability to generate a living rather than behemoths like Disney is absolutely the point.
