strypey: Also, artists and creators of all kinds get ripped off by the media industries far more than they get ripped off by people giving away gratis copies of their work online. A classic essay on this: https://www.negativland.com/news/?page_id=17Respect for #ARRcopyright has never been a solution. What's needed is platforms like #crowdfunding and #BandCamp that allows fans to support the artists whose work they enjoy (more) directly.

strypey: "We are trying to find a middle ground, that we are calling ‘temporary copyright.’ Since we fall into the category of artists for this film, we are asking everybody to delay ripping this film. Allow us about 2 years of revenue, then let the world take the film." http://commonsfilm.com/fair-use-creative-commons-and-this-film/If you think people will respect that, why not just apply a #CC license right away, and just ask viewers to pay for a download, or buy a DVD or some other merch, or contribute to #crowdfunding the next film?

strypey: @cwebber @emacsen So when middle class "cool" kids like #AnitaSarkeesian start making money off laying into a nerd subculture, the angry backlash is disappointing, but hardly surprising. Let me be very clear, #GamerGate was horrific. Anita made plenty of fair points, and I think it's great she was able to support her work via #crowdfunding. But while from her POV she was a marginalized person attacking privilege, from the gamer POV she was using "cool" privilege to attack a marginalized group.

strypey: @Goffi @LWFlouisa @wuhei like I say, I understand the frustration. It doesn't change the reality. This is why I've been focusing on #crowdfunding and #micro-patronage and #cooperatives for a while now. If everyone that uses anything that depends on #FreeCode put $10 a year into its development, that a huge pot of money! Imagine if we could pay free code devs well, and allow projects to employ as many people as they really need to fulfil their visions.

lnxw48a1: @xahlee That's not actually true. Newspapers and magazines, though they generally had some subscription revenue, were always dependent on advertising. TV and radio broadcasts (in the US, where most broadcasters are not tax supported) is wholly dependent on advertising. Why? Because few people would or could pay what it would cost to present their content without the ads. This carried over to Web sites and mobile "apps" for the same reason. Each individual has a very limited pool of funds, and so they are unlikely to blow it all on supporting a very small number of the sites or apps or magazines or newspapers that they use. Ad-supported sites and apps, like ad-supported newspapers, magazines, and broadcasts before them, exist because micro-payments is a failed concept and no other concept has arisen to fund so many content providers. Indeed, I am concerned that #Patreon and #crowd-funding type sites may soon crest and begin their decline. As these sites are the alternate funding method of the day, this could push even more sites into advert-land.
