Music industry is once again worried about "ripping"

article published on 14 September, 2016

Music industry, like many others, are slow to adapt and because of that slow adaption they've had to come up with all kinds of reasons to why sales of antiquated media is slowing down.

Many youtube videos are on record company accounts and thus get them ad revenue. Others are on individual accounts, but the automatic systems youtube has in place mean that the owners can claim the ad revenue for those videos automatically (this can be a bad thing as it can also get the ad revenue from a video where you can overhear 5 seconds of a song in the background at a video of a pick nick or something..but it means no one can complain about piracy on youtube when the owners can get all the profits without any work). I honestly don't know why someone would bother ripping a song from youtube...the audio quality is garbage and you can generally get flac or 320K mp3's with torrents, while putting in less effort. They might as well start complaining about the fact that you can record FM radio.

Sales have increased but they are complaining of ripping music off YouTube. The music industry just does not know how to keep there mouths shut and not piss people off. People will do it because they can't afford to buy hundreds of tracks per month. They aren't losing revenue from it. That's just their excuse.

Actually, back when small, relatively portable audio cassette recorders first became popular (as opposed to 8-track), the music industry just about had a coronary, with almost identical arguments.

Another, similar fit is the one pitched by the movie industry over VHS/Betamax.

Funny how that works, isn't it?

If it can be seen or heard, it can be recorded.

Calvin: Sometimes, when Im talking, my words cant keep up with my thoughts. I wonder why we think faster than we can speak.
Hobbes: Probably so we can think twice.
