Or, "honest trade" (as a solution), I may say. I pay, I get files. I may pay more for higher grade files.
With this model, I legitimately paid for:
- Sidologie: A C64 game soundtrack tribute album, in lossless audio.
- OK COMPUTER NOT OK: Reissue of Radiohead's OK COMPUTER album, in 24 bit studio masters (post mastering).
- Too many albums from Bandcamp, in lossless form.
- Apple iTunes, in acceptable quality AAC files.
So it's possible, albeit less profitable (ERR_NOT_ENOUGH_VAL_XTRCT), so frowned upon.
BTW, I used to play in an orchestra, so making music/art is not like writing code. It's way more abstract and painful to create.
- forty 2y agoDon't get me wrong, I'm all for DRM-free purchases where most of the money goes to the artists. BitTorrent is a way to handle the fact when there is no such option (and put economic pressure so that options exist)
- bayindirh 2y ago> BitTorrent is a way to handle the fact when there is no such option (and put economic pressure so that options exist). I fully agree. I just wanted to point that it's not that black and white, and there're a small number of grays in between.
- account42 2y agoThis model doesn't really exist for movies / tv series. Closest you can get are DRMed discs which which you can then rip into DRM-free files ... thanks to friendly pirates sharing the keys needed to access what you bought.
