This post was about Taylor Swift's comments in regard to streaming music, but you couldn't hold back your inner white knight could ya?There is nothing ethically wrong with piracy. The value you or the music industry (or even the artist) places on music is arbitrary, in the end they are simply manipulating sound waves, the drive for money comes not from the music but from the need to prosper in today's world. if you want to look at music as purely a commodity than go ahead, but music existed before the confines of capitalism.

Recordings didn't.

>>51260183
And you're objectively wrong. Having the technical proficiency to operate incredibly complex software, compose all the music, and be skilled in audio engineering is a completely different set of skills than just being skilled at playing guitar. Sure, some of them mix, but mastering music production is just as much of an accomplishment as mastering playing the guitar.

Also, you do realize that most of the musicians who use software to make music actually do know music theory and do play an instrument? amazing huh

You know it's hard to decide which of these is worse. I mean when you like everything but country it means you probably don't listen to much music at all but when you say you like country it usually means you're some conservative hillbilly who only likes country. I think it's better just not to mention it. Since it's a folk subgenre, I usually just lump it in with that myself.

>>51260479
Ok while I do not ahve a way to show most of electronic musicians have played an instrument, I have some I remember off my head:

Afrojack learned how to play piano when he was like 6 or some shit

Both members of Infected mushroom learned how to play the piano at age 8

Skrillex had a band before he went off with his solo career

One guy from daft punk played the piano from a really young age, other one not sure

>>51260370
>>51260370
>nor do you sell used media without expecting a profit.
Which, by an anti-piracy advocate's logic, is even worse than piracy because you're selling a piece of media and receiving a profit entirely for yourself, with zero going to the content creators who provided it in the first place. Whereas with piracy, it is a null transaction in which no money is received or deducted by any party involved.

>>51260795
>it usually means you're some conservative hillbilly who only likes country
I used to think this, but there is actually plenty of friendly, decent, fairly liberal white trash in New England that love country. The only country fans I don't like are self-described "country girls"

>>51259886

>>51260819

Happens when I recommend a band to a friend, it's very frustrating.

>>51260112
What the fuck's the difference really? It's not like for example you create a new guitar sound when playing it. Same thing

>>51260795
you've never even been outside of the city have you

country may be appreciated more in the midwest, like how jazz might be listened to more often in New Orleans, but it's far and away from being the only genre people listen to in those areas.

if you find someone who listens to everything but country, it's because they dismissed it without listening to anything beyond the top-40 whatever that has no soul (or worse, not even listening to that)

>I post pictures of fedoras when someone likes a band or makes an argument that I only have a gut-reaction distaste for and I'm not articulate enough to coherently express why

>>51260993
hmm, I guess that fact that one of them takes some modicum of skill?

>>51260864
Well, I live in a conservative religious shithole (like I'm surprised these people have running water) so here when people say they like country, I knew that was they were going to say from the moment I first saw them.

I mean I love country but not as my favorite genre and I don't love it blindly (which most of its fans do). Like I am fully aware a lot of it is shit.

>people implying that liking popular music is bad

>>51261031
How? Explain how electronic music takes less or no skill compared to a physical instrument.

>>51261161

Top-40-popular or well-known-popular?

>>51261210
Because people who claim that playing a real instrument is more skillful than creating the sound using a computer place too much value and emphasis on the physicality of performing music rather than on the more abstract, cerebral elements of actually creating a coherent sonic composition.

>>51259784

>i can't make complex or well thought out compositions,so I'll just say that stuff is for try-hard hippies and that simpler compositions are less messy and more listenable

>>51260837

"Used" means that whatever you're selling was "used" before you sold it. So, if you bought it, used it, then sold it, something would go to the content creators. It's tricky, because it's all the way there in the beginning, but to obtain the object in the first place something has to go to the content creators.

>I don't like American Tune, therefore AJJ is shit

>>51261542

You shouldn't dislike it because it's too accessible, you should dislike it because it's too generic and isn't unique enough to actually warrant you wasting time to listen to it. That isn't the same as disliking it because it's accessible

>>51260153
