loverly post.
AND you make very good points mate.
no argument.
but...remember my point bout daw developers understanding the risks
of developing on the win platform ??
us musicians thus also must understand the risks of doing songs in
this day n age. the problems come with the territory imho.
i dont like the situation any more than you do mate.
but frankly i think the cats outta the bag, due to technology ,
and theres not much can be done bout it. so i accept it.
of course , as per usual its the struggling small artists who it hurts
the most cos they dont have the luxury of revenue streams from back catalogs
like big artists do.
heres something to ponder.
hackers remember have kids TOO.
what if hackers kids grow up to be musicians trying to sell songs or to build software products that everyone takes for no payment. ??
how will their hacker parents feel THEN when their kids cant make a decent living ??
OR..
what happens when the hackers themselves get old in the old folks home ,
and their kids cant afford to pay for their ex hacker parents old folks home fees ,
cos the hackers kids cant make a living from their songs or software creations ??
ie..what goes around comes around sorta idea. see what i mean ??
watch the hue n cry then !!
frankly its a pity no hackers have commented in this thread on their motivation
for hacking. cos me personally i dont get the motivation.
i just dont think the solution is to inconvenience good honest folks.
