Continuing on the "indie" concept and responding to something Lynn said in the comments, I thought I'd bring up something which I'm not sure most music and movie lovers realize.
I don't want to sound like a fan of hunting down teenagers who are sharing music with their friends... but I thought I might point something out which I don't see mentioned much and which I find to be a little worrisome.
In this new age of where everything is easy to pirate - music, movies, whatever - one thing that people swaping media might not realize is that this is the beginning of the end of independents.
Eventually, the only people who will ever reach mass radio or TV or theater will be people who are tied very directly into a product who benefits from saturation more than sales.
The people who benefit from saturation more than sales are: Propagandists (people who have a political agenda), Corporations pushing a product, and well financed people satisfying their egos.
Personally, I don't want all the music and movies I'm offered to be limited to these agendas. I think many of the greatest works have been someone simply capturing the essence of human experience and sharing that.
Unfortunately... the honus is upon the audience to support that if it means something to them.
My point here is simply that piracy is way more inclined to hurt the indies than it is to hurt the commercial market.
繼續“獨立”的概念和回應Lynn的評論,我覺得我帶來了很多音樂和電影愛好者沒有意識到的想法。
我並不想要抓住那些跟朋友分享音樂的少年…我認為我指出了一些大家不常說起,或者我覺得令人不安的事情。
在這個任何東西都被盜版的年代 -音樂、電影和任何其他 -人們用媒體做交易,可能沒意識到這既是獨立的開始,也是它的終結。
最終只有那些經常聽收音機、看電視或去電影院的人,才是因產品的滲透而比賣方更直接受益的人。
因產品的滲透而受益多於銷售人的有:宣傳人員(有行政日程的人),推廣產品的公司和自我滿足的有錢人。
個人而言,我當然不想所有音樂和電影的使用受限於這些事項。我認為很多偉大的作品,是在於人們容易體驗和分享到它的精神所在。
不幸的是…一旦有得到聽眾的支持,自我又會膨脹。
我的意見很簡單,盜版傷害“獨立”更甚於商業市場。
