Die Thieves, Die
*********************
Pending world copyright legislation is understandably an inconvenience for those who routinely steal music, movies, photos and artwork for either pleasure or gain.. but it is raging wildfire burning anyone who creates new work and hopes to receive income from the fruits of their honest labour.
Since stealing was not legalized in the material world in spite of centuries of unbending prohibition against shoplifting and thievery..stealing remains a crime, a "non violent crime " unless they are caught and then watch as thieves get violent deniers right before your eyes. Thieves have every reason to be huffy and militant because their rotteness is about to be hosed away into the hole they crawled out of
I went to visit an artist pal, check out his art and catch up with our adult lives in our respective paradises and discuss and mock the looming doom of the future.
He struggles to hang onto his job at a little design studio which itself struggles to hang on in the graphic arts industry. He tells me clients bail to hunt down slash rate starving freelancers who do a terrible
but somewhat affordable job the clients seek to promote their wares and services
I learned about all the lame expensive graphic cut and paste software programs out there the unskilled are struggling to payoff so the rely on ripp and ruin to pay their bills. And in return for
informing him about ( c ) for creators and our privileges and obligations he tells me about what the cool desperate pirates are doing. I am not impressed.
It's a mess out there in production land as edgy clients vending pop culture shit on their dieing fast websites bring in hot files to pirate production houses for tweaking. New era clients don't even consider original art, they want shameless ripps of whats happening elsewhere. In short, they are just hack posers: behaving exactly like the corporate world they are trying to be alternative to
A vast and rotton black market for garbage commercial imagery now exists
where nobody creates- they just wait for something to float by to ripp
and run with before some other pirate asshole beats them to it.. Ha!
piracy is graphic welfare, nobody does anything while they wait for the
pixil slop wagon to ladle out watery swill
No, we can't stop technology, and we don't want to.. however blocking
assholes from snagging our lunch is well worth the trouble.
If they won't fuck off,
we are prepared to fuck on
die thieves die
