@GhostOnTheHalfShell sadly that "#freedom" isn't extended to #consumers!

  • Which is IMHO bad [not questioning the fact that #WastefulComputing = #bad!] because it means that only rich Media Oligopolies have access to "#justice" and can enforce their rights.
    • And that is even more worse, because that'll only fuck over those #artists and #creatives that don't have the money to legally 'curbstomp' people at the slightest chance.

Not to mention the most brazen #Copyrightmafia Members (#Disney) are openly embracing #AIslop content.

  • Completely negating their own claims that they want to 'protect artists and make shure they get their deserved payment'...

Greedy execs should choke on #DRM and the #Enshittification whilst being sued into insolvency by the #artists, #production crews and #consumers they fucked over!

Streaming Crushed Piracy then Brought it back by Accident

YouTube

It's just so fucking tiring, not to mention there is hardly any good content worth paying for on #Streaming or even #TV.

  • Shure @arte / #arte does good stuff and I tend to check in on @dw_innovation / #DWnews and their original content, but aside from some show like #MrRobot or #CyberSix I don't even want to track down a physical copy.
    • In the past I did more often import stuff like #DoctorWho for friends (because pre-#Brexit #UK made that easy and convenient and being 18+ doesn't cause issues with unrated content...

I'm happily paying full price for good tickets at a theater (instead of asking friends who come along if they can save a Euro or two with their Student Discount) because I believe #artists should not merely survive but thrive and be rewarded for their efforts.

  • And I think positive incentives are always good. I want good things and since we live under #capitalism, "Money (or rather the reciept of every transaction) is my ballout - EVERY SINGLE TIME!"

And I'm not even gonna pirate shit as a matter of principle!

  • Not for [the obviously] legal reasons...

I enjoy reading this kind of #ArtBook. I think many people might find books like this shallow and never going into depth on a artist or #artwork but books like these are a great way to find new #artists to look at.

And I quite like the simplistic, straightforward way books like this describe art. Sometimes all you really need is a brief explanation and the rest you can ponder on yourself.

Books like this can get boring if you read them for too long. They are good for dipping into occasionally. But I enjoy being taken on a journey through different artists' practices.

Question #51:

Where do you like to work on your art the most? (In your room, at the park, in a coffee shop, etc)

Has the true identity of British street artist Banksy been revealed or not?

Has the cover been blown on the true identity of British street artist Banksy? Some people seem to think so. A British tabloid, The Mail on Sunday, claim they learned Banksy's actual name in 2008, something that has — apparently — now been verified. Banksy however, through his lawyer, disputes the finding, says Achol Arok, reporting on the story for The Daily Aus (Instagram link). Assuming the latest reporting is correct, I'm surprised, with his remarkable profile, that Banksy has […]

"By searching that data and cross-referencing it with other public records, we identified what we believed to be the name Banksy took. It is one of the most popular names in Britain, so common it helps him hide in plain sight."
