  4. Woher kommt eigentlich der Drang, Symbolbilder / rein illustrative Bilder ohne inhaltlichen Mehrwert zu benutzen?

    Clipart etc. ok, fine with me.

    Aber generierte Bilder 🙄
    (aus vielen Gründen, u.a. #GreeningDH und #CreditArtists / #PayArtists)

  6. If you're like me and are allergic to giving your money to people like Bezos, but you still want to purchase music from artists on labels that don't have a Bandcamp presence, check sites like us.7digital.com/ or qobuz.com/us-en/shop

    You own NOTHING with streaming and you're paying the artists almost nothing. There's only a few places left if artists don't provide a direct purchase option.

  8. @dangillmor If more people understand through this, good. Personally I ditched Spotify for Bandcamp years ago once I understood the exploitation, plus I stream radio and YouTube for more new music, or actually visit an artist site. To everyone who has also known about Spotify, as Yoda might’ve said, “information you had. Choices you had.” #payartists

    As you probably rarely request art, I thought you might like to consider that

    1. It helps to state how much you're willing to spend publicly, so that artists can work out how much effort they need to put in. This also saves artists and you from being sucked into some kind of private bidding war.

    2. What's your aim here? There may be more than one route to achieve your goal.

  12. Newsletter on AI art, threats, and what I personally plan to do about it. Not my first piece attacking AI...

    I experimented with it as I saw myself as an ideal 'moderate dunce at computers and drawing' but not a bad 'client' for commissioning.

    The image was created by AI and the face substituted with a real picture of me, creating a seamless portrait. But the jacket is unreal.

  14. Spotify to cease operations in Uruguay over copyright laws that “introduce the right to "fair and equitable remuneration" for authors, composers, performers, directors, and screenwriters" and “broadened the scope of financial remuneration for performers, particularly in respect of content shared online.”

  16. Brand new #ambient that sounds old. Distressed? Tape hiss, flutter and dropout as an aesthetic. Like listening to faded photographs. #nowlistening #nowplaying (BTW I'm not shilling when I do this. Just sharing music. I don't know/work for the artists but I like to support them. That said, it is #BandcampFriday again. #PayArtists ) #Bandcamp thme-sound.bandcamp.com/album/

  17. @defred @NakjiKiss3 alternately: learn to draw your own damn self instead of stealing from others and devaluing their hard work. #fuckAIart #FuckArtThieves #PayArtists

  19. As usual, Benn Jordan is spot on in this takedown of Spotify/streaming services. The bottom line is, they don't work. If you want to support music (or any art), the answer is give money directly to those artists, one way or another. Patreon, Bandcamp, KoFI-- hell find out the Venmo of the guy who makes the gifs you like and send him $10 for being awesome.

  21. Julian Gough, who wrote the End Poem for Minecraft, says he owns the words because he refused to sign a contract.

    Hmm.

    This was by his own account work-for-hire and though he'd met the Minecraft creator Markus once he wasn't, despite the headline, his "friend".

    He was paid $20,000, a lot for 9 pages regardless of the later billion dollar sale to Microsoft.

    IANAL, but if this ends up in court I don't think he'll win.

  23. BTW, for anyone who doesn't know this: any time I share my own articles from Medium on here, they're Friend Linked to bypass the paywall! I want to build my readership and pay my internet bill, but I'm also just really happy to be able to share my work and build community.

  25. This year while you spent thousands of minutes giving Daniel Ek more money to withhold from musical artists and invest in military AI technology, Spotify spent another year not paying the intern they stole the concept for Spotify Wrapped from
