  • and this, friends, is what us anti-ai people been warning about with regards to ip ownership all along. it's not that we're anti piracy, it's that if there's a set of rules for the people, and a set of rules for the technoligarchs, who's getting fucked is the people.

  • Oh boy, another reason to hate Spotify.

      • platform racists
      • pay racists for exclusive rights to platform
      • remove songs requested taken down by authoritarian governments because it's important to them they do business in those countries (apparently)
      • leave "heil hitler" up despite it being an obvious problem "because it's not their place to censor art" (see prior point)
      • use algorithms to push down challenging and importart art and promote unchallenging consumable music, or worse right wing propaganda
      • the media bubbles regardless of what's in the bubbles isolate us
      • don't pay artists what their music is worth even though what we pay for is access to the music the artists make
      • this ai bullshit

      what else am i missing? because i know there's tons more
