Home excersising's killing gyms.

I love the way the music industry continuously says its dieing, at the same time it reports consistently greater profits.

i just hooked up my laptop to my stereo and taped this song!

time to tape this.

The main reason record labels are against pirating is because it is just like radio, except you as the listener has the power of what you're listening to. Radio is nothing more than advertising for the record labels, which is why very few pirate radio stations gets taken down. At least on the pirate stations, the listener doesn't get to choose what to listen to, so there's a big chance you'll be "force fed" some music from their label if you listen to it. Pirating, however, puts the listener in charge. Not everyone loves Lady Gaga, so of course her songs will be played less if people pirate. Less plays means less popularity, which in turn means less people will actually pay for the songs to either have a hard copy on their shelves or to gift to friends. I believe that if the labels just worked with Pirate Bay and other trackers, we would quickly see a sidebar there, just like here on the Tube and on Amazon and such, which would have actual recommendations based on your own flavour, mixed in with some paid-for advertising from the labels. That way, Lady Gaga could get a few (thousands) downloads extra from people who grew up in this century and therefore doesn't know what a radio is. It's rare for people to listen to radio nowadays, so most of the music comes off the internet. Most of the music listened to comes from free sources, such as Spotify or through pirating. People read about the artists through the media, but rarely actively seek them out. They will listen to it, if it's easily available and recommended to them, though, so a sidebar ad for a free download would give a larger audience. There are ways of making an appealing buy off free music. Many indie bands offer free downloads in lower quality and then let you buy it in better quality, through services like Bandcamp. I think the future is not on the plastic discs or in pay-to-listen services like Spotify or iTunes, but through free music to the masses and a pay-per-quality scheme.

@PStar7 That's how it used to work. Home copies used to be the main way people got into certain artists. That's why certain countries, like Sweden, still to this day charge extra for storage mediums, so they can compensate whoever is played on radio for eventual copies made at home.

True about radio, especially in my country. When I got my first car I tried listening to the radio and quickly regretted it. In 30 mins they would play 2 songs and the rest of it was all ads. Not even the RJ speaking over the radio or something. Just ads. Every single one of them. Now I just plug my phone and play my favourite songs at leisure with 0 interruption.

Very nice. This video was linked to me by one of my favorite musicians! The modern music industry is killing music, it's up to artists and audiophiles to keep it alive.

The fact that this video is so old that the URL at the end leads to some survival training now instead of a filesharing debate

How does this masterpiece only have 150k views, I probably account for half of those...

Nearly 3 years later...still genius.

Just Discovered it !! Its more trueer than true !!

"our popstars need to get paid, so they can buy jet planes and kilograms of cocaine" Bloody genius that Dan Bull! :D

The labels NEED to be put out of business. Remember, buying music does not support the artist. The label takes that. If you want to support the artist, see them in concert.

I have stumbled upon on an old mine. And Let me tell you music is still alive,even after the piracing because of people that are willing to support their music Creators.

Home video-gaming is killing arcades. (oh wait, it already did....)

this song and video is great, it needs to be featured more and be written about in papers and online!

Another amazing song Dan! I'll be featuring this on the next Pirate Party Radio show this week.

love it.

I love it!

Home breathing doesn't give air industries a chance.

"Our popstars need to get paid, so that they can buy jet planes and kilograms of cocaine"..........I love it!!!

fantastic

As someone who used to make shitty radio mixes all the time... This is amazing.

thanks dan. great song.

Either way you will probably take the first part seriously until you hear the "peace is killing arms dealing" part.

This song is so cathartic.

Great! Love it! =D

So absolutely true. As we can all see nowadays, home taping REALLY did kill music, just like the Content Mafia predicted in the 80's, right? :) As far as the song and video is concerned: VERY well done! Like it!

This is so hilarious, and I like how the humour is subtle enough that two people with opposing opinions on pirating could still both support this song.

If you're not old enough to remember, "Home taping is killing music" was record-industry propaganda in the 1970's. Dan Bull didn't make it up.

people should make music just for the love of making it

Pray, to a deity, to stop us from downloading music, for free? It wouldn't work because no deity simulateously exists, is able to stop us and wants to stop us.

The campaign's orchestrated by TalkTalk. I dunno how good they are as a provider, but they're seemingly the only company refusing to give the government whatever information is asked for about their customers. It serves TalkTalk well of course, filesharers will flock to (and start paying) them, so their motive is perhaps not so noble. But civil rights are good.

CHOOSE FILE. LOL! Classic. :)

Boa noite muito Legal Ritimo bom sou do Brasil no Amazonas espero vocês

That is some amazing wordplay

It's amazing how many people commenting here don't realize that the current issues of "file copying" aren't just about getting music for free. If you buy an MP3 on, say, iTunes you still don't have freedom to use it anywhere you like. You are restricted by the DRM as to how many and which machines you are allowed to listen to that music on. And that doesn't even get into the freedom to share music with a friend, where I could loan a CD to someone but can't loan an mp3 with DRM.

With article 13 around the corner, this video is more relevant than ever.

So good I had to play it twice. :-)

Rick Astley is such a perfect example; he was virtually unknow until someone "illegally" posted a video of him on the net and the Rickroll was born. Now he does concerts again.

@HealerG Not necessarily. We mostly taped off the radio back in the day. Eventually though we'd buy the album, if it was worth it, and the shirts and go to concerts. But yeah, same as now, more or less. We shouldn't have to adapt to a system that seeks to limit our worlds and lives for the sake of obscenely large profits for corporations. But I'm fine with artists receiving a living wage for their work.

arcades are killing pay to wins (or is it the other way around)or The internet is killing history books. We need to give king more money so they can make more shitty games and probably do more cocaine come up with those ideas for games

Because not buying from people DOES put them out of business. It's perfectly reasonable not to buy someone's stuff if you don't like them much and don't want them to stick around and make more stuff. There are plenty of musicians I wish would shut up, go away, get a day job, and never sing again. OTOH if you like someone, you ought to support them, so they can keep going.

@StaticID Isn't Vevo a way that music companies are adapting to the market?

Prince Charming himself, Adam Ant.

Someone has to go and home tape this song.

@MrGrm92 Except it's not, since nearly every record company and movie company posted record profits for the last quarter, during a recession. If a worldwide recession can't effect their profits, what effect do you think piracy has?

@themasterofmovies That's recession man. Go download it from torrent :D

Just wait until music streaming happens

Home cooking is killing resturants.

I'll pay whatever the artist decides is a good price for their music if I like their music. I won't pay anything to publishers.

close, but this isn't sarcasm. it is grade A satire.

Are you kidding me? Adam goddamn Ant!

nobody who was ever worth listening to ever cut an album with money in mind.

@juntao1919 thanks man

Evelyne Brink (Madonna) looks good.

@gegi77 Guys like Corey Smith, Jonathan Coulton, and Dan Bull have had plenty of success on their own. Corey Smith has literally made millions of dollars self-releasing and touring. The labels pay an advance, usually about $200k or so. Then they pay the artist about 5 to 8 cents per album for the rest of the contract. That does a a lot more than make up for the $200,000 on the successful acts.

@MrGrm92 I would gladly share my connection with others as long as I have the highest priority. I think it's a great idea to share connections so if anyone's connection doesn't work s/he can use some one else's.

@zbarsky I would buy more music if it was not only cheaper, but also [b]easier[/b] to download tracks. Plus if the artist got the biggest share (instead of being ripped by the industry)

KZread should be closed too since it's too easy to listen songs in here.

I **THINK** that was supposed to be Adam of Adam and the Ants. . .

problem is, unless they're an indie artist under they're own or a friend's label, the majority of the (absurd) profits is going to the record label, not the artist you support

I swear that guy looks like Gaius Baltar dressed up as Adam Ant. mega-woot, btw.
