someone stole my video and edit it and made their own video..... i think it is wrong , but its something that comes with the territory......i hate thieves too.....
Promotion is getting you exposure to more opportunity to get paid. Key is promotion, promotion, PROMOTION! Just make sure you watermark everything and you'll be fine.
I'm not sure it's really stealing on YouTube when the site provides an embed feature. I would say torrenting is technically stealing, though I still do it. Eventually, we'll get more popular sites like iTunes that sell music online and try to crack down on sites that don't charge. I still support things I feel are worth supporting (like seeing a movie in a theater), but some things I just don't want to have forever.
The media industry is desperatly clinging on to their old ways of making money and views uncontrolled distribution as all wrong and bad. Entertainment consumption is rising and film and record companies make money like never before. The difference now is that there are new ways to distribute and copyright laws make it illigal to make full use of them and the industry rather fights the legal battle to keep old controll than invest in innovative distribution and marketing.
The government should set an example instead of stealing billions from us for decades now. What do they expect after the examples they have set post WW2?
People steal my photos all the time. I have almost 35,000 photos currently on the internet. If I had a dime for every one of them that has been copied and used elsewhere without my permission, I could retire in luxury.
I do put a copyright notice on each one of them(except for the ones that I do for free, like my VidCon photos), but it usually gets trimmed off or edited out somehow. I REALLY get ticked off when the picture winds up on an advertisement or product without my permission.
Search 'Against Intellectual Property,' and you will find the case for why it is not stealing at all, and is actually each person justly using their own property, and how intellectual property laws actually undermine all conceptions of private property. (you may not like it, but it is not just to use force to stop people kinda thing)
It is a tight case, and I think it may just convince you!
How can you compare learning to play an instrument getting in a band getting inspiration to compose something getting the patience co record it mix it and master it
then finding a publisher pay for sites to upload your song so you can sell it
WITH F*CKING STANDING IN FRONT OF A CAMERA AND TALKING ?!?!
it can't be theft because the same people who hold the rights of a song or a movie also hold stock of my internetprovider or the firm that makes my mp3player/smartphone/whatever!!! and with that they make more money as they ever could with promoting an artist of anykind!!! just by saying it's kind of free...
But what you also raised is the possibility that promotion, taking it to make something new and creative may actually work and the advantage of both parties. In truth, you have to admit that if I take one of your video, reshape it and make money from it, you will be pissed off ... especially if I make a nice profit. Then you will feel cheated ... and sue me :-) - OK, too long of a comment ...
The second can be dealt with (make available low resolution music and I would listen and decide / amazon allows listening to part of the song and their business go great). This is promotion mode and I think quite effective myself.
Nearly remains the one who do not care and will steal anyhow.
The first is the company's fault and own demise: too tight of a control, too expensive and people will start finding way to get it for free especially if they get pissed off. Example varies from movies you find you cannot burn to a DVD to the "only three device" stupidity (going fast, you change your laptop and need to buy music all over again).
There is stealing and stealing - I think you put under the same umbrella your videos (already in public space) and stealing music (likely via p2p hence not authorized). Let us speak of #2: law wise, it is copyright infringement. So why people do it? There are many reasons such as you buy music and video and discover you can transfer to other device only a few times (then you feel cheated and decide to steal it), one is not sure if they really want it, or do not care and have no intent to pay.
I found you again! why are you always wearing black? Hey I saw your video with the naked cowboy and you were riding shotgun in his truck! Now I’m really jealous!
I am sorry about using a few minutes of one of your videos. If you give me your address, I will send you some money. I might even send you some pictures of me naked. If you want me to I will delete the video with a part of your video on it. I will attach the video to this so that you can watch it.
How does anyone make money by reposting one of your videos? In fact, aside from YouTube paying YOU money....how would YOU make money off one of your OWN videos?
Think of stealing on the internet as you would think of stealing anything "physical". If I go to the store and steal a bunch of bananas, those become mine and the store loses out. If I pirate music, that music becomes mine and the artist loses out. If I repost your video online, which is already free to access, it is not so clearly mine unless I claim ownership. Reposting is free advertisement and shouldn't be a big deal.
When is the last time you had a meal? Seriously, you look to have a body fat level possibly below 10 percent? You are so skinny compared to your previous videos? Save some junk for the trunk skinny minny!!! :)
I think that the piracy issue is more often about people copying stuff that is not posted by the owner and then sharing it widely on the internet. It may be wrong. But do used book stores really trace every book they sell and make sure to hand in the proper royalties? Or the cds, books, dvds and videos sold at flea markets? I download but do not continue to seed. That's how I justify it in my own head.
AaaaaaW poor little Kanye West has to live in a house with 21 bathrooms instead of 22 now that we download his songs aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw . I feel soooo sorry for him.
You might be mistaken. Socialists argue for a small elite ruling the masses of peasants and taking away the peasants' freedoms. Typically on behalf of an international banking elite.
File sharers are not socialists, as they want to increase freedom.
The anti-file-sharing faction operates using the fascist approach: Corporations and government joining forces against the masses.
@560e I am sorry m8 but you truly are misinformed about socialism... i know what i am speaking of, well, because i grew up in a socialist country, Denmark. Yep. Since the happiest country in the world is labeled a socialist... may be not all the horrifying things you were told about socialism are true but rather a propaganda. I suggest you do some research about dictatorship and socialism.
@RASyared I was referring socialism, not democratic socialism like you've experienced. Europeans have achieved a level of comfort and fairness that the USSR and East Germany never could. I doubt that you had in Denmark a KGB or Stasi running around keeping the common folk under control. Such oppression is a wet dream for the international banking cartel that funds such regimes.
@justekiddiing You find a guy sharing and download a song / piece of art art / latest Twilight Novel off the internet and share it with 100,000 of your "friends". You and the guy you got it from are both thieves, because nobody has quite figured out yet how to get the required royalty payments-per-copy into the artist's / author's hand where they belong.
While the data may want to be free, trust me the creation and organization of the data is not.
Downloading video/music off the internet isn't stealing... it's sharing :)
It's like if I rented a movie, then lent it to my brother or friend... same thing. Now if my friend or brother makes a hard copy of it.... now that's a different story.
I have never heard a good argument for physically enforcing the concept of "intellectual property" of any kind. The arguments are always based on an appeal to consequences, rather than something more fundamental.
Looking at things practically in the 21st century, I might also add that the ONLY way copyright infringement can be enforced in a world where high speed internet exists... is by throwing the idea of privacy out the window, so your actions online can be more closely monitored.
Let's not confuse theft, piracy and copyright violation. The latter is merely a technicality - within reason. Piracy is selling IP you have no right to sell. Theft is obvious and therefore stealing a CD is different to copyright violation.
I agree that there are - or should be - unwritten rules of the Web. One of those is that people don't need your permission to store or play with stuff you post. Don't like it? GET OVER IT.
There's a reasonable concern about piracy because it all started out as people NOT posting the stuff online at all, but the users themselves doing it and sharing it without permission. Personally, as an aspiring music artist, I'd rather have my music be free but just get money from performing like back in the good ol' days before recorded music. Like I said, there is a legitimate argument on both sides though, we live in a capitalist economy so intellectual property falls in line with that.
Well, I think it's wrong if you profit from stealing, or mislead others in to believing it's your own original work. I'm ok with Mashups, fansites, etc. Piracy today is a really gray area that's sort of like the whole "stealing a loaf of bread to feed your family." Is burning a mixtape the same as being a bootlegger? I think of websites as being like magazines really: I like something, I grab my scissors and cut it out. However, I don't attempt to sell it or hand it out en masse.
To me, "stealing" implies depriving someone else of their property without recompense - what everyone does online is copying. If you could kill the Interwebs tomorrow, all those billions of copies would just circulate via mail & meetups anyway. Technology has made the concept of individual intellectual property obsolete, for all practical purposes.
PS: AFAIK, anything you post here isn't "yours" unless you already have a prior claim to it - it's YouTube's ... & many sites use this same policy.
It's no difference than downloading movies from the tv with a vcr or dvd recorder. But Real Player makes a fine video down loader with the option of converting the music in the video to an mp3 or mp4 file. If you put it out there it will be copied. Sorry Lori.
If you don't want your crap stolen, don't place it on a busy street.
If you mean to share, post to Youtube and Deviant art. If you don't want to share, upload somewhere less popular or better yet, make your own site and keep track of your own crap.
Interesting topic. Under that definition, simply visiting a website is stealing. Every time you visit a site you make copies of the files on your local machine to view them. Also, parody or satiric videos would be stealing - fortunately for us all there is something called fair use. If words mean whatever we want them to mean we can simply define stealing as the duplication, in any way, something owned or created by another, in which case have I stolen your video by remembering it in my mind?
NAPSTER was a black op.......They sided with the MPAA & RIAA to stiff the people out of *MORE* of their hard-earned money.
I can remember back in the 60's & 70's making cassettes of random songs for my friends to check out. It was never illegal to do so *UNTIL* they found out they could make money.
I think its wrong if say you downloaded music and sold it to make money! but at the same time..i don't understand how anyone who buys a cd and shares it with you..should not be a crime..after all the item was purchased..its like saying you can buy it but its not yours to shares..makes no since! but yea...the street pirates ruined it all for everyone. I personally think the copyright laws is extreme! good video!
I believe that the internet should be used as both, just like it's been doing. For both communal sharing and for business profit. I think it's wrong in a moral sense that stealing is done, but everyone knows that it's done, so if a person is selling something, that person's obviously aware that stealing's going to be done, knows the risks involved, and should just accept them. If you can't accept the risks, don't bother trying to market. That's just my opinion.
Personally I don't have much respect for the law, so quoting it does nothing to convince me. Secondly, thoughts are not property, and thirdly there is no scarcity when it comes to inventions and word, image or audio patterns. Once they're out there they can be infinitely reproduced as long as there is material with which to do so. Learn about private property rights and natural rights and develop a sounds argument if you want to do any convincing.
TheResident is right that taking things off the internet is right but doesn't make much of a case for it. For a real case in support of 'piracy' read or listen to Stephen Kinsella's "Againt Intellectual Property" The basic premise of his argument is that copyright and the like gives artists, inventors and producers unjust domain over other people's property. That is, copyright prohibits me from using my own printer and ink (my real physical property), from reproducing a pattern of words
@Trazillian Yep, it's your printer & ink, but it's his pattern of words, which you may use without his permission, if said use falls under "fair use". See Title 17 U.S.C. Section 107 of the U.S. Copyright Law, for definition of fair use.
You never mentioned copyright. What you describe in this video is only stealing if the material is copyrighted & the copyright holder has not given the secondary user permission to use it, or said user doesn't have the copyright holder's permission but his use falls under, what Title 17 U.S.C. Section 107 of the U.S. Copyright Law calls, "fair use." Very little 2nd person use of other people' work found on line is stealing. I support the coyright law especially the fair use Section.
unfortunately I feel like content providers no matter what they do are always going to get ripped off. Just comes with the territory. Everyone seems to think the internet and everything on it are and should be free. Sadly including myself. Wish their was a perfect world where everything on internet was free, and content providers still got money. I guess the content providers just have to know that they will only get x % of views legitimately when they release something.
I'd say, a great way to promote your work that leads to being recognized by a larger audience. Let's face it, its hard to get noticed if you have so much competition out there.
It isn't stealing. There's an important legal distinction for a key reason. Theft is depriving a person of their property. As their property is non-corporeal in this case, you can't deprive someone of it just by using it. They still have it too.
Calling it theft is marketing, a bit like how the two sides of the abortion lobby are pro-life and pro-choice rather than anti-life and ant-choice. I can understand the desire not to have your IP 'taken'; I just hate the hyperbole of calling it theft.
@Loreki It is stealing. What you have stolen is royalties they would have received from each publication pursuant to their copyright. If I write a song, book, whatnot and sell 100,000 copies, I get a royalty check. Trust me, I doubt exactly zero of the 100,000 friends you share with are going to send a royalty check off to the author.
That's ridicioulous. Your right, it's not physical properth. However, it is INTELLECTUAL property. People should have a right to the legal protection of their intellectual property.
@11Agamemnon235 I don't disagree with legal protection for IP, my complaint is the attempt to associate the infringement of a legal right with the taking of a physical thing. Legally they're two separate things. Morally too.
While there is no debate that a physical thing made or earned by you belongs to you there is more of a philosophical debate around property in intellectual creation. One could argue that the purpose of creativity in society is to share it.
@Loreki I think you'd have trouble explaining that to a judge. If I set up a website where the mp3s / videos where the content was for paying customers only, and people either hacked into it and gained access to the property OR downloaded it legally and were selling it themselves, it is theft.
If someone pays for and downloads my material then shares it, the people recieving the material are recieving stolen goods. It's a copyright infringement.
@XrotarebiL No it's copyright infringement and possibly some crime related to the misuse of computers in respect of the hacking. In law you can't actually steal intellectual property. That's what I'm trying to say here!
People who oppose copyright infringement make it out to be theft because that's a crime which is taken more seriously, and better understood, by the public even though copyright infringement is a separate thing.
That's a tough question. For 99 cents I can download a song and have access to it forever without having to worry about going to prison or being sued. Yet, If I am in an online discussion with people on a forum somewhere, it seems customary to scroll and paste text from anywhere and everywhere, so I just make sure I don't use the whole article and post a link at the beginning so people know where to go find out more.
I gotta say, as an engineer I have complained about this many times over the years. I may spend months or years working on new designs, and I can either spend many $10,000's to patent them (which runs out after 20 years max), or I can keep them as trade secrets and hope no one reverse engineers them. How is it people can copy-write video, sound, or text, creative though it may be, for 70 years? I have to build, test, and retest my devices, costing hundreds of thousands of dollars to less effect.
Is it really piracy when right in the video window when the video concludes there is a "share" button? If people don't want to have there stuff shared and used in that way then there are means to prevent it. You Tube is not that forum.
The Resident? A Pirate?? No! I can't believe it. I won' t believe it. If in the off chance it is true, You're the sexiest, snuggliest pirate I've ever seen.
No. People need to realize the immense engine the Internet has become. The technology is here. We are all connected now to one another creating an almost, collective mind" that provides instant information. You need to realize the risks and potentials there are when posting things online. I personally believe that the Internet is an anomalous, Human powered engine that, once information is inputted, it is immediately distributed to millions across the planet.
music can so easily be listed to via the internet these days, particular through spotify, youtube and other sites/programs, and the internet is so omnipresent these days, especially with smartphones, that it hardly seems worth paying for the privelege of being able to access music when you can't access the internet so it's pretty daft to expect anyone to pay when so many of us have bills to pay and little excess income.
as for art and videos, as long as credit is given, it's free promo woop
Theft entails that the original property holder is deprived of their property. Replicating data does not deprive someone of their property; if, on the other hand, I were to hack a database, copy a file and then delete said file, that would be more akin to stealing. Piracy is more like replicating a painting without touching the original.
@doucher337 Unless you are depriving someone of a sale. Ie, downloading a video from a secondary source rather than paying for the original is theft.
Hacking into a website and copying something rather than paying for it is theft.
It can also violate copyright laws.
Largely royalties don't go back to the original creators and local businesses suffer as a result. The manga and anime industry in Japan is suffering because no one is actually buying it any more.
No. If I form a competing movie production firm and deprive a competitor of potential sales, that is not theft. Otherwise only monopolies would be kosher. There is no concrete way to prove that a sale would have occurred ceteris paribus without piracy. The analogy I previously provided is still sound. If copying a painting whilst not affecting the original is not theft, then neither is piracy.
@doucher337 For the most part you are correct. It depends on what is done with the copy. For example, if you bought a game / DVD or whatever and made copies of them so you could use them (and hide the originals in a safe place) that's fine.
If you then sold your copies, you could be in hotwater.
Right or wrong, it's going to happen. People need to get used to it or stop posting stuff on line. Even if people don't post their stuff online, like in the case of music, it will wind up on the internet, anyway. It is just a sign of the times. Music, movies, even porn (which has historically been a recession-proof business) has suffered. With today's technology, ppl can make their own movies, music, etc at home, decreasing it's value. If ppl are just in it make $, don't quit the day job.
All great art is stolen Ms. Resident. Picasso took from African art. Leonardo took from previous classicists. Basic art history. Internet is no different and as "creators" we judge each other by originality in a world where nothing is original therefore, whoever steals from the most unknown artist wins the game. Case in point -> Timbaland steals from demosc ene musician, watch?v=M4KX7SkDe4Q
Your wording is all incorrect, Resident. I know you're not a philosopher or anything but: Stealing= wrongful taking of property. Your question: Is it wrong to steal stuff off the internet?
well I think there's a fine line to that though pluse with the whole music debate person ally I think singers have enough money as it is they just live without the new version of the hummer just like I have to, once I found this really nice song and decided to by the CD instead of look for ways to download it turnes out I wasted over $14 one one song because I only liked one song out of all 10 tracks on it. and with art Public domain allows us to us it but only for non profit in the end
we're helping them by showing more people their art, believe me every class regarding art covers the whole copyright rules. As long as you're not turning a profit from it you can still use it, and it's always nice to give credit where credit is due. I heard "someone worked hard to create what you're taking" (something like that) but someone worked even harder to get what that person created to the people. Also with PC games that have be Modded it's different too, Modifying a game is encouraged.
well, we have to spin forward twenty years to see what the impact is going to be on the makers of film, music and books. I predict theres going t be a hell a lot of 'professional artists' working in day jobs.
All laws need the consent of the governed ! Intellectual property is not an idea to protect the individual but help society. Often it harms, take long patents on drugs. Initial reward by protection is only to serve as incentive for production - which serves the masses. When it is harmful, unfair - ie the benifits to the individual are disproportionate. As a society we should throw out there property right claims !
I think everything you put online should be available to anyone. If you don't want your work stolen, you shouldn't put it on the Internet.
That said, there is a netiquette one should respect, if I use someone else's work I give credit, and permission should be asked before one modifies the work in any way.
As a musician I fully support people downloading my music for free. I want as many people to hear it as possible. If you're in it for the money then you're in it for the wrong reasons.
@seriouslymatsteele So basically all musicians that we have heard over the last forty years were in it for the wrong reasons? I support musicians I follow by BUYING their music, and I expect them to buy my books. Otherwise we'd all be working in macdonalds. Do you want to keep your day job forever or to be able to support yourself through your art?
@mormor39 Are you saying that all musicians over the last forty years were only in it for the money? Buying music is fine, in fact it's better than fine, it's great! I love buying albums. And I love buying books too. Musicians make most of their money by touring. So if you can support yourself by touring then you don't have to work at mcdonalds. Besides, studies show that people who download music are the ones who buy the most music.
rez, you should put a advertising slogan on your video that way when someone involuntarily promotes your stuff they see your slogan like 'visit therez.net'.
I post sketches online on a weekly basis. I assume that others will use them.
I know people that have torrented a book, decided they liked it and bought a dead tree version. Which they wouldn't have done without sampling it first.
And it isn't 'theft'. It's digital bootlegging. Theft implies the loss of a unique object.
Downloading files from the internet is not "stealing"--it's copying, like xeroxing at a copy store. You pay for the internet service just like you pay for the copies, so why shouldn't you be able to access whatever people are putting into the copy machine? If you really don't want something "stolen," DON'T PUBLISH IT online for everyone to see and download!
This should be expected. You can sue all you want and sure, you might win a lawsuit and even pay a couple bills. But it's not going to stop, and it should be well known by now.
I post dances online. I don't care if someone steals it, but they need to give credit where credit it due. People don't steal music and say they made that song. They say "I like this song by such and such". When someone steals ur videos, your FACE is there, so people know you're the one who did it. People aren't making copies of your video, re-enacting your scripts. Stealing isn't wrong. Plagerizing is, though.
I noticed you only cover 1 third of the screen. I think you should cover more and shrink the other side with all the words one it. Mostly because you're interesting, and the words are just accenting your points.
The older generation will always try to control the newer generation. Hence the upset over copyrights and internet piracy. Truth be told, the old system doesn't work for the world today, and needs a make-over. But tell that to the older generation, and they get mad at change.
Agreed, I have discovered a lot of great music from around the world, old and new, just going on YouTube. It's technically stealing, sure, But that got me to buy a lot of CDs. It's great promotion, because had it not been for YouTube, I would have never heard of any of them.
My view of libraries of next future is about enourmous public dataservers with all the human knowledge freely and universally accessible. Am I a dreamer? Yes, proud of it. :)
It depends on what's being stolen and from who. If I was stealing The Resident's car, then yes clearly that's wrong. However, if I liked one of your videos and thought it was a good source of information I may repost it (steal it). But I will thumb it up before hand, so I hope you appreciate that. :)
Oh and stealing from large corporations whose CEO's make 50 million a year, why would I think that's wrong!? They're stealing from humanity! Who the fuck needs 50 mil a year?
It means artists should become more creative when it comes to making money. That creativity is already there. All your vids contain a amount of commercials. If it isn't on your vid it's at the right side of it. What artists should do is claim their share or maybe get subsidy from their gov. Artists also can get their income from live performances. Those record companies should reconsider their strategy and they've been criminal for a long time. Internet should be free.
I wonder how many of those who steal from the internet, because they can get away with it, would murder someone if they knew they could get away with it? I'll grant that theft is (and should be) a lesser crime, but it's just a matter of degree. Theft doesn't take a whole life, but it takes part of it -- that portion of someone's life that they used to create the thing being stolen.
Why not have both? Those who do not wish to have their videos used by others can signify that by having a copyright notice or just a statement of that desire within the video. Those who do not mind sharing their talent need only not have such a notice within their video..
You mean you people never popped out your tape recorders in your youth and recorded songs off the radio then laugh later cause when you were listening to it you heard someone burp or fart in the background? That was piracy way before the internet! ;)
Part of the big problem with copyright 1) is the perpetual "life clause" and 2) the fact that copyright primarily benefits large corporations. I live in the capital of lawyers and most entertainment/copyright lawyers/ and similar are not really going to get involved in a copyright case unless there is a way the lawyer is going to make a serious profit from the court case (eg. $1,000,000). I laugh when people on YT threaten a copyright suit, when they don't even know the reality of it.
what ever you do.its coming back to you ,here in this life or next.you can never bring everybody to justice

The first is the company's fault and own demise: too tight of a control, too expensive and people will start finding way to get it for free especially if they get pissed off. Example varies from movies you find you cannot burn to a DVD to the "only three device" stupidity (going fast, you change your laptop and need to buy music all over again).
skinnym974 1 year ago
There is stealing and stealing - I think you put under the same umbrella your videos (already in public space) and stealing music (likely via p2p hence not authorized). Let us speak of #2: law wise, it is copyright infringement. So why people do it? There are many reasons such as you buy music and video and discover you can transfer to other device only a few times (then you feel cheated and decide to steal it), one is not sure if they really want it, or do not care and have no intent to pay.

Think of stealing on the internet as you would think of stealing anything "physical". If I go to the store and steal a bunch of bananas, those become mine and the store loses out. If I pirate music, that music becomes mine and the artist loses out. If I repost your video online, which is already free to access, it is not so clearly mine unless I claim ownership. Reposting is free advertisement and shouldn't be a big deal.

I think that the piracy issue is more often about people copying stuff that is not posted by the owner and then sharing it widely on the internet. It may be wrong. But do used book stores really trace every book they sell and make sure to hand in the proper royalties? Or the cds, books, dvds and videos sold at flea markets? I download but do not continue to seed. That's how I justify it in my own head.
ErictheNybui 1 year ago
Good topic, Lori.
Theft is a strong word. Really it's replication. I'd say if someone replicates your work without attribution, that's theft.
If someone repeatedly quotes your words out of context to misrepresent you, that's heinous.
But it is also mildly heinous when content producers deliberately make artists' content unavailable, to increase scarcity & prices.
And it's really heinous when corrupt powers-that-be try to ban content entirely because it makes them look bad -- or look guilty.

I have never heard a good argument for physically enforcing the concept of "intellectual property" of any kind. The arguments are always based on an appeal to consequences, rather than something more fundamental.
Looking at things practically in the 21st century, I might also add that the ONLY way copyright infringement can be enforced in a world where high speed internet exists... is by throwing the idea of privacy out the window, so your actions online can be more closely monitored.

Let's not confuse theft, piracy and copyright violation. The latter is merely a technicality - within reason. Piracy is selling IP you have no right to sell. Theft is obvious and therefore stealing a CD is different to copyright violation.
I agree that there are - or should be - unwritten rules of the Web. One of those is that people don't need your permission to store or play with stuff you post. Don't like it? GET OVER IT.

There's a reasonable concern about piracy because it all started out as people NOT posting the stuff online at all, but the users themselves doing it and sharing it without permission. Personally, as an aspiring music artist, I'd rather have my music be free but just get money from performing like back in the good ol' days before recorded music. Like I said, there is a legitimate argument on both sides though, we live in a capitalist economy so intellectual property falls in line with that.
blacklite911 1 year ago
Well, I think it's wrong if you profit from stealing, or mislead others in to believing it's your own original work. I'm ok with Mashups, fansites, etc. Piracy today is a really gray area that's sort of like the whole "stealing a loaf of bread to feed your family." Is burning a mixtape the same as being a bootlegger? I think of websites as being like magazines really: I like something, I grab my scissors and cut it out. However, I don't attempt to sell it or hand it out en masse.
syrupneko 1 year ago
To me, "stealing" implies depriving someone else of their property without recompense - what everyone does online is copying. If you could kill the Interwebs tomorrow, all those billions of copies would just circulate via mail & meetups anyway. Technology has made the concept of individual intellectual property obsolete, for all practical purposes.
PS: AFAIK, anything you post here isn't "yours" unless you already have a prior claim to it - it's YouTube's ... & many sites use this same policy.

Interesting topic. Under that definition, simply visiting a website is stealing. Every time you visit a site you make copies of the files on your local machine to view them. Also, parody or satiric videos would be stealing - fortunately for us all there is something called fair use.

I believe that the internet should be used as both, just like it's been doing. For both communal sharing and for business profit. I think it's wrong in a moral sense that stealing is done, but everyone knows that it's done, so if a person is selling something, that person's obviously aware that stealing's going to be done, knows the risks involved, and should just accept them. If you can't accept the risks, don't bother trying to market. That's just my opinion.
chrishooper68 1 year ago
Personally I don't have much respect for the law, so quoting it does nothing to convince me. Secondly, thoughts are not property, and thirdly there is no scarcity when it comes to inventions and word, image or audio patterns. Once they're out there they can be infinitely reproduced as long as there is material with which to do so. Learn about private property rights and natural rights and develop a sounds argument if you want to do any convincing.
Trazillian 1 year ago
TheResident is right that taking things off the internet is right but doesn't make much of a case for it. For a real case in support of 'piracy' read or listen to Stephen Kinsella's "Againt Intellectual Property" The basic premise of his argument is that copyright and the like gives artists, inventors and producers unjust domain over other people's property. That is, copyright prohibits me from using my own printer and ink (my real physical property), from reproducing a pattern of words
Trazillian 1 year ago
cont'd... I am not stealing any of the author's real physical property, I'm only using my own property as I see fit.
Kinsella's book can be downloaded as a torrent from the interweb or possibly from his website, I'm not sure on that one though.
Trazillian 1 year ago
@Trazillian Yep, it's your printer & ink, but it's his pattern of words, which you may use without his permission, if said use falls under "fair use". See Title 17 U.S.C. Section 107 of the U.S. Copyright Law, for definition of fair use.
tuberpie68 1 year ago
You never mentioned copyright. What you describe in this video is only stealing if the material is copyrighted & the copyright holder has not given the secondary user permission to use it, or said user doesn't have the copyright holder's permission but his use falls under, what Title 17 U.S.C. Section 107 of the U.S. Copyright Law calls, "fair use." Very little 2nd person use of other people' work found on line is stealing. I support the coyright law especially the fair use Section.

It isn't stealing. There's an important legal distinction for a key reason. Theft is depriving a person of their property. As their property is non-corporeal in this case, you can't deprive someone of it just by using it. They still have it too.
Calling it theft is marketing, a bit like how the two sides of the abortion lobby are pro-life and pro-choice rather than anti-life and ant-choice. I can understand the desire not to have your IP 'taken'; I just hate the hyperbole of calling it theft.
Loreki 1 year ago 14
@Loreki It is stealing. What you have stolen is royalties they would have received from each publication pursuant to their copyright. If I write a song, book, whatnot and sell 100,000 copies, I get a royalty check. Trust me, I doubt exactly zero of the 100,000 friends you share with are going to send a royalty check off to the author.
And there is the theft.

@11Agamemnon235 I don't disagree with legal protection for IP, my complaint is the attempt to associate the infringement of a legal right with the taking of a physical thing. Legally they're two separate things. Morally too.
While there is no debate that a physical thing made or earned by you belongs to you there is more of a philosophical debate around property in intellectual creation. One could argue that the purpose of creativity in society is to share it.
Loreki 1 year ago
@Loreki I think you'd have trouble explaining that to a judge. If I set up a website where the mp3s / videos where the content was for paying customers only, and people either hacked into it and gained access to the property OR downloaded it legally and were selling it themselves, it is theft.
If someone pays for and downloads my material then shares it, the people recieving the material are recieving stolen goods. It's a copyright infringement.

@XrotarebiL No it's copyright infringement and possibly some crime related to the misuse of computers in respect of the hacking. In law you can't actually steal intellectual property. That's what I'm trying to say here!

Theft entails that the original property holder is deprived of their property. Replicating data does not deprive someone of their property; if, on the other hand, I were to hack a database, copy a file and then delete said file, that would be more akin to stealing. Piracy is more like replicating a painting without touching the original.
doucher337 1 year ago 8
@doucher337 Unless you are depriving someone of a sale. Ie, downloading a video from a secondary source rather than paying for the original is theft.
Hacking into a website and copying something rather than paying for it is theft.
It can also violate copyright laws.
Largely royalties don't go back to the original creators and local businesses suffer as a result. The manga and anime industry in Japan is suffering because no one is actually buying it any more.
XrotarebiL 1 year ago
@XrotarebiL
No. If I form a competing movie production firm and deprive a competitor of potential sales, that is not theft. Otherwise only monopolies would be kosher. There is no concrete way to prove that a sale would have occurred ceteris paribus without piracy. The analogy I previously provided is still sound. If copying a painting whilst not affecting the original is not theft, then neither is piracy.
doucher337 1 year ago
@doucher337 For the most part you are correct. It depends on what is done with the copy. For example, if you bought a game / DVD or whatever and made copies of them so you could use them (and hide the originals in a safe place) that's fine.
If you then sold your copies, you could be in hotwater.

Even if people don't post their stuff online, like in the case of music, it will wind up on the internet, anyway. It is just a sign of the times. Music, movies, even porn (which has historically been a recession-proof business) has suffered. With today's technology, ppl can make their own movies, music, etc at home, decreasing it's value.

As a society we should throw out there property right claims !

Somehow I don't think the Lord had bit torrent in mind when he gave Moses the Ten Commandments.

I'm with Nina Paley:
Copying Is Not Theft.
My view of libraries of next future is about enourmous public dataservers with all the human knowledge freely and universally accessible. Am I a dreamer? Yes, proud of it. :)

It depends on what's being stolen and from who. If I was stealing The Resident's car, then yes clearly that's wrong. However, if I liked one of your videos and thought it was a good source of information I may repost it (steal it). But I will thumb it up before hand, so I hope you appreciate that. :)
Oh and stealing from large corporations whose CEO's make 50 million a year, why would I think that's wrong!? They're stealing from humanity! Who the fuck needs 50 mil a year?

It means artists should become more creative when it comes to making money. That creativity is already there. All your vids contain a amount of commercials. If it isn't on your vid it's at the right side of it. What artists should do is claim their share or maybe get subsidy from their gov. Artists also can get their income from live performances. Those record companies should reconsider their strategy and they've been criminal for a long time. Internet should be free.

I wonder how many of those who steal from the internet, because they can get away with it, would murder someone if they knew they could get away with it? I'll grant that theft is (and should be) a lesser crime, but it's just a matter of degree. Theft doesn't take a whole life, but it takes part of it -- that portion of someone's life that they used to create the thing being stolen.

Why not have both? Those who do not wish to have their videos used by others can signify that by having a copyright notice or just a statement of that desire within the video. Those who do not mind sharing their talent need only not have such a notice within their video..

You mean you people never popped out your tape recorders in your youth and recorded songs off the radio then laugh later cause when you were listening to it you heard someone burp or fart in the background? That was piracy way before the internet! ;)

Part of the big problem with copyright 1) is the perpetual "life clause" and 2) the fact that copyright primarily benefits large corporations. I live in the capital of lawyers and most entertainment/copyright lawyers/ and similar are not really going to get involved in a copyright case unless there is a way the lawyer is going to make a serious profit from the court case (eg. $1,000,000). I laugh when people on YT threaten a copyright suit, when they don't even know the reality of it.
