Even if I prefer the remix, I'm happy to also own the original mix on CD as it has become difficult to find a new copy of it and my streaming service (YouTube Music) only has the remix version.

Artist: Rush
Album: Vapor Trails Remix (2002)
Release: 2026 reissue, 2013 remix
Region: USA & Canada
Label: Rhino Records – RD1 83740

Backing up Spotify

We backed up Spotify (metadata and music files). It’s distributed in bulk torrents (~300TB). It’s the world’s first “preservation archive” for music which is fully open (meaning it can easily be mirrored by anyone with enough disk space), with 86 million music files, representing around 99.6% of listens.

I threw this compilation of the Screaming Dead's singles and tapes onto the Internet Archive, as the tracks keep disappearing off YouTube (possibly because the guitarist seems to prefer his new re-released versions without the original band).

Let's see how long it stays up. Apologies for the MP3 rips - I've misplaced the disc but will replace with FLACs when I find it again.

Das Video zeigt gut, warum #Piraterie / #Piracy moralisch korrekt ist. Solange faire Besitzmodelle, Preismodelle und der Erhalt von Software und Hardware nicht gegeben sind, bleibe ich auch bei der Meinung.

Ich bin froh, dass es Seiten wie #GOG gibt und dort auch die gekauften Spiele auch wirklich besitzt. Das Model hätte ich gerne auf allen anderen digitalen Kaufplattformen und Konsolen. Genauso hätte ich als zahlender Kunde auch gerne die Möglichkeit, die Musik und Filme für Offline-Wiedergabe ohne #DRM herunterzuladen.

Es wäre wirklich schön, wenn Anbieter auf ihre Kunden hören würden. Natürlich hat man Angst, dass einem Einnahmen flöten gehen, aber wenn man verstehen würde, weshalb Menschen Piraterie betreiben, dann könnte das Ganze fairer werden.

Solange ich faire Preise habe und das, was ich will, auch jederzeit verfügbar ist, betreibe ich auch keine und da halte ich mich dran. Ich habe nicht umsonst vor der #3DS #eShop Schließung einen Haufen Spiele gekauft.
