I agree, I just resteemed the stuff and sent the dude like 5 steem and all of a sudden im dragged into this place where in reality its no ones say what this fella wants to do, I do know that dtube doesnt offer a demonetize upload option however, so its a sticky situation for everyone involved.
ill read your post and probably reply in a bit to it, but the other thing i wanna say is you can go to youtube and get 100 differnt versions of every one of these cartoons the only difference is youtube is getting ALL the proceeds, I think this @cartoontv guy was smart but got scared off by people like @skeptic and the rest of the naieve community, its all art, share it all in my opinion, maybe the people supressing the actual open market of the internet are google activists and freedom supressors lol dont be afraid of the authorities @cartoontv bring us more bugs bunny!!!
I'm not sure about the details, but in general platform hosting copyright material uploaded by others are more or less save, but I also know that Hollywood can demand to remove content. When this is not possible, we may have an issue. Read this post here and my comment to that post here.
hmm maybe humanity will be at a turning point, no one trusts mainstream media , and can access and promote whatever art we want, god knows everything we pay to watch is absolute mind trash,
How in your view will digital artist be able to make their money, when by default everything is allowed to by copied? I'm very much open for discussions here. Music producers generally perform, so you can argue they shall perform and make their money like that. Movies, they can earn their money with cinema and TV (as ling as that exists, since when no copyright laws, netflix and the likes dont have to pay anymore and will copy as well without the owner of the movie to be paid). But what about the artists who make digital paintings and sell them online? We must find solutions, since when artists do not get paid anymore, they will stopmaking art, most of them since everybody needs to earn money to pay for housing and food at least.
have you met many artists, we don't get paid, very very few do, because we make music and art for the idea of spreading culture, its not about making money. we all have what we have and make do with what we have, if it is something truly worthy to be called art, then then money isnt insentive, tbh, if someone took a tune of mine and coverd it busking to make enough money to buy a bag of grass so be it, i'm not a centralized idea owning person, this is a giant sandbox playground, enjoy it, or dont. haha :)
I agree with you and I don't :) I know artists who make pretty good music in their spare time, but it is damn hard to be great when having all sort of distractions, like a job to earn money to pay the bills; I also know artists who make such wonderful music, they would never be able to create that when they would have some other job to attend to. I actually think, to be great in art, you must dedicate yourself to it completely. Like for instance Van Gogh! or Rembrandt! I like to see artists being able to dedicate their complete time to their art, even those who are lower in the revenue / popularity pyramid, even those who are at the bottom of that pyramid. The internet provides those lower in this pyramid a way to monetise their work, something that was not really possible before the internet due to how the system works. If we would simple copy their work, and the artist is not able anymore to monetise their work, all those at lower levels in the pyramid as mentioned, will have to do all their work for free again. Seems a step back to what we had before the Internet.
