Don't yall just love opening up the Way back machine page and loading up your playlist and using that instead of Spotify?

Fucking idiots.

[–] AugustWest@lemm.ee 9 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I disagree with the big labels, preservation is important and they are not selling this music anyways (at least not as scratchy old 78 recordings) but... I do stream a lot from the archive and I am not alone. There are apps for a ton of live music, all with bands that agreed to it.

But There is even a 78 app for listening to the 78's.

I won't use Spotify though.

m3u text based playlists kick ass. Everything else... Meh.

this is why I just be buying CDs, cassettes, vinyls and BandCamp/ whatever digital download platform the artist uses and putting it on Jellyfin. Can't buy from the artist directly? well, then we participate the computings oldest profession.

yes exactly, and nothing else that could possibly be illegal that would implicate me in any sort of case.

I will get change.org tattooed on my nut sack if anyone can show me proof of a change.org petition changing anything.

[–] zloubida@lemmy.world 22 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Alone, a petition doesn't have any effect. But it's a tool to publicize a cause, and a way to create a movement. Some had a strong effect.

[–] huppakee@lemm.ee 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Please me know if you get a picture of a tattooed ball sack, I have a kink

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

I dont believe you do have this kink you speak of. And you can easily just share where the rest of us can find this kink if you continue to uphold this statement with any intent to convince people that you do in fact have this job

(Just having some fun)

Historically, they have had impact however with this administration....

It's the internet activist's most powerful weapon... A TEXT FILE

This is an amazing example of how stupid this situation is:

(Adam Neely)

They're mostly focusing on pitch. They're not focusing on rhythm. They're not focusing on timbre. They're focusing on a series of notes. You are INCREDIBLY limited in what you can do with those notes. Not to mention the whole step/ half step pattern.

Edit: I know this is random, but one of my instructors was a backup singer for Katie Perry, and she sucked. If you can find an Asian man with a bald head doing a head bob in the background of Katie Perry concert, I'll give you 10+ points. He also sounds 10× better than her, lmao.

It's worse man.

Axis of Awesome has a song called "Four Chord Song" where they show that essentially every pop song is just four chords.

Four fucking chords.

Your paying for lyrics.

[–] ExtantHuman@lemm.ee 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

So first, music isn't just chords. Second, there's only so many combinations that actually sound good. There's a whole field of music theory around this. Chord progressions kind of set the tone of the song. Different countries actually have different favored progressions - it's kind of interesting.

You should look into it. Because it sounds like you're just mad at how music works.

[–] desktop_user@lemmy.blahaj.zone -2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

at least synthesizers actually produce things that don't sound like a stupid piano or guitar.

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm curious what the difference between a piano and a stupid piano is in your mind

[–] desktop_user@lemmy.blahaj.zone -1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

a piano is an object that uses hammers to strike fibers and induce vibrations in air, a stupid piano is one that performs in a way that is considered "tuned".

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

So it's not stupid if it's out of tune?

And also get off the fuckin' birdplane

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 30 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Well, okay but that's a relatively new thing. In the olden times the record industry was very honorab-ahahahahaha ahhhhhh fuck. Yeah, no they've always been crooks and scum. But sometimes they did good by accident. That was before the accountants took over, though. Way back.

[–] AtariDump@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Like when blank music cd’s (specifically for music cd copiers) cost more because they knew people were pirating CDs?

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Sure, or the death of DAT, the overcharging of printed CDs, longboxes, there's a huge list of terrible things.

Signed it, wether it helps or not worth the effort

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

Oh, its a change.org.

I'll sign it, but it feels slightly useless.

Capitalism is dead, and the labels were part of the poison. This is a death rattle for recording companies. Parasites

[–] TacoButtPlug@sh.itjust.works 13 points 3 months ago

Guess I'll increase my monthly donation and boycott the recording industry. Time for torrents.

[–] Franklin@lemmy.ca 13 points 3 months ago

fuck capatalists man, will destroy any good in the world, with their short sited fodder for the profit machine.

[–] index@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

There's plenty of music available to listen to, entire centuries of music and more hours of music you can possibly listen to. There's no need to listen and give money to majors.

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Fuck that just Rrr the fuckers

[–] rebelflesh@lemm.ee 8 points 3 months ago

Back when 4chan was a small cesspool we took down the recording industry, we can do it again with Spotify and all the streaming services.

We beat them once we will do it again.

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

Anyone else not being allowed to sign this?

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 months ago

link to actual lawsuit/claims?

[–] applemao@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Another reason corps lobbied for digital and killed off analog as much as they could: easier to control and charge money. Once I own a tape/reel/record, I OWN it, you cannot take it from me without physically taking it. Stop using online digital media for stuff you actually care about.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

Also, move both sites out of the USA, NOW.

The US is not a safe place for information and shudder facts
