Quote

Make good stuff, then make it easy for people to buy it. There’s your anti-piracy plan. The big content companies are TERRIBLE at doing both of these things, so it’s no wonder they’re not doing so well in the current environment.

And if you can stand me sounding even crazier, here is this: making money from art is not a human right. It so happens that technological and societal blahbity bloos have conspired to create a situation where selling songs about monkeys and robots is a viable business, but for most of human history people have NOT paid for art.
— Though sites and services put up a visible fight, I’m way more interested in hearing from the actual artists any new anti-piracy laws supposedly protect. Jonathan Coulton provided one of the most clear-headed and useful perspectives I’ve heard so far.

Video with 3 notes

In Star Wars Uncut, fans re-made the movie 15 seconds at a time, and the result is a pure joy to behold. So many styles, creative methods, and hilarious, heartwarming interpretations. It’s like the whole nerdy internet Sweded one of my favorite movies and it’s glorious.

Don’t know if I’ll sit down and watch the whole thing at once, but I’ll gladly return occasionally to watch a few scenes and smile. And to think, governments want to block things like this from being possible.

Debut video/single from what’s easily the best album of 2012 so far.

Great Pixies-ish angsty 90’s sound, love it. With a video produced by Urban Outfitters, heh. Marketers co-opt everything, those bastards.
