Copyright (Infringing File Sharing) Amendment Bill
From one of many blogs...
http://www.kiwiblog.co.nz/tag/copyright Interesting to see how it will go...I'm assuming that downloading TV series would also be covered under this...maybe? |

I've seen a few comments from others in support of piracy claiming that these copyright bills are nothing more then the desperate plea from large scale record companies trying to increase profits. And thats a really valid point. After studying Popular Music at Uni last year, it was interesting to see how there are Four Major Labels now which then branch off with other label names: sort of like Restaurant Brands using KFC, Starbucks and Pizza Hut as brands. It gives a false impression that an independent label is actually that..... independent. I will buy tickets to see artists play live and will buy the CD if its good. |

Serious though, I wonder if you'd have any chance of arguing for a reasonably proportionate fine if you could show you pirated in such a way that prevented specifically uploading (newsgroups perhaps, rather than a torrent), since that way you've not providing pirated material to anyone else. I guess only time and precedent will tell. |

That's a hard paper if you haven't taken 'CRYINGLIKEABITCH101' - if you have, what you learn there makes it much easier.

Fuckin' bullshit laws propping up an industry so it can keep making money. When did our society all of a sudden become about making sure those who make money are able to keep on making money?
|
When have the powerful ensured that they remain powerful? Must be a recent phenomenon.
|
I suspect it is, something that's emerged perhaps in the last 10 000 years or so. I suspect it was not so much the case in the 200 000 years prior.

wonder how the old 'hacked wireless router' gambit will go...
and presumably people's IPs will be collected from public P2P networks etc, so private networks will be OK... |
and what about proxy servers? Don't a lot of people use proxies?
All that this is going to do is just make people come up with new ideas to get around it. I blame limewire and kazaa for all this crap. they made it super easy to get hold of stuff, most of which was fake anyways, and then now we have pretty much everyman and his dog downloading stuff. |

As for the unprotected wireless router argument, that's why you get 3 shots before being sanctioned. For sure the warnings you receive would alert you to the possibility and allow for you to be taught about wireless security. You do get a to present yourself to the copyright tribunal so if you somehow kept being hacked, so long as you could prove it you'd probably be expected to assist in helping them catch the actual pirate. |

I haven't posted anything about being in a band on here.....did not see why it is important. But here is some newer stuff since my band Anything But Federal has come to an end. One Day At A Time Somethings Got To Give With my previous band we had a single on radio, a music video, did a few gigs and stuff but in New Zealand it is real hard to make money. Anyone knows that you have to have your song on rotation on a radio station because the royalties from it are much greater then selling a CD in a store. We tried to sell in stores and online, we were even on iTunes But since then, I have come to the conclusion, like many artists out there starting off, that I have the tools to do this all myself now. Sure, 15 years ago a record contract would be awesome because you get studio time paid for by a label and what not but that money, to record and produce your album, gets paid back via the money you earn selling it and so forth. Most artists never see a dime of the money that they actually 'earn'. The cars and the cribs you see on TV, thats money in 'advance' which is to be paid back. So since I got myself a little pro tools rig and a midi keyboard, some cool plugins and a simple SM58, i have been able to get the sounds I want and at the same quality as what I would assume would be studio quality. Save for the drums, the guitars and everything else sound real, because they are. But there are many plugins for MIDI that use real drums samples to create what would sound like a real drummer in a studio. Now considering that I am in production of my first solo album, I will have by the end of it created the whole thing my self. I will make CDs up with cases and spend money on the covers and labels and I will only sell them at the shows that I play. I hope to make 100% profit, save for the money I want to reclaim on the production of it, which will be shit all really compared to my EP with Anything But Federal. Now in regards to my thoughts on the copyright of the music......well I dont go into this entirely with money on my mind. I hope that people will like my music. And if they do and come along to the show and buy my cd then thats awesome. If they download it, so be it. I'm giving you links above to some of my stuff without asking for money. This whole thing, as I said before, is to make more money for the record labels. Thats all. When you look at all the bankrupt artists now that havent and were not affected by downloading and piracy, you start to see that the artists never really make anything. What I am doing, and many other indie artists are too, is choosing to avoid getting loans and doing all the music production ourselves. 100% artistic control. And this is what scares the record industry. Look at cdbaby.com. They sell CDs from artists like me, independent from the big four major labels and we get the money without using a middle man. |
Good Luck.

As for movie piracy, which is just as much part of this, there is always the sticky issue of the studios being required by the various guilds (Writers, Musicians, Directors) to do their best to ensure the guild members work is protected. They sign contracts stipulating this. By not pushing for as harsh controls and penalties as possible, they risk those guilds refusing to allow their members to work for them. On the one hand, this'd mean more great indie movies. On the other, pretty much everyone that wants to Make It joins the relevant Holywood guild - the ground work for the guilds controlling who gets to do what is so well established it's phenomenally harder to work if you don't join. So it's probably going to take the movie industry even longer to readjust to a digital reality than the music industry. |
Stop making a plethora of shit stuff at the same value/rate as stuff that ISNT shit .. and I'll pay for it.
I mean I copy the SHIT out of anything I consider "not worth buying" that includes shit games, shit movies anything, because they are shit and not worht 120/50/30 bucks. That being said I also own over 300 dvds and buy alot of games from steam/online that I consider worth the coin. I go to the movies when I figure "hey that looks like its going to be alright" ... (but to be honest after Pascal cancelled Tangy fruits ... my backup supply and want to go to the movies is dropping :P) You flood the market with shit ... then expect joe bloggs public to buy it at full price ... Get fucked. Assholes. Viva la Internationally Hosted Torrent Server. |
I'm not paying money for their shitty albums. If i like them i'll go see them live, otherwise, nah.
$35 for an album, piss off. |
