Crunchyroll Faces Cancelation: Why Anime Fans Are Choosing Piracy After Latest Update
(fandomwire.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I would very much like a streaming service that makes it transparent what it actually spends its income on.
Like - a streaming service where i pay $10/month and 90% of that goes to the studios/artists that actually produce the anime? I would take that.
But right now i'm worried that i pay $10/month and 90% of that goes to the shareholders of the streaming provider as "profit" while the studio gets almost nothing.
Yeah... sweet summer child you might not want to read Chokepoint Capitalism. It's closer to 99% for BigContent lawyers and right holders and less than 1% for actual creators.
Lol, I'm sure it's a good book and Cory Doctorow is well renowned, but I can't help but think: "Defeat Chokepoint Capitalism by buying our book right now!"
And ironically enough even though most book by Doctorow might be DRM-free, maybe this one is, I can't remember.
If you want I give you a free TL;DR: it's not just monopolies, it's also monopsies. When we feel trapped by buying with Amazon we often forget that authors often have the same feeling. So the "chokepoint" is not 1-sided but 2-sided.
Cory Doctorow's works are almost always free to download, just a physical copy costs money.
Get thee to The Pirate Bay and send your direct donations on the side.
where would i send them to?
