his dispute hinged on whether those methods of accessing his music could be defined as a "sale" or a "licence" under the terms of his contract.

The difference is far from academic because most artists receive 50% of the royalties for a licence but a much lower figure, typically between 12% and 22%, for a sale.

“Um actually, I don’t think you understand the actual meaning of (insert label here)

Maybe instead of assuming that the person your talking to is an idiot you should question if they actually have formed their opinions of the labels being debated through actual research and reading things from people on those sides of the “debate”

I’m anti-censorship, I’m not pro or anti ship. Because both sides are bad, both sides make threats to each other

Both sides are a huge distraction from real censorship issues.

If you fic gets taken down you can just go to another website or create your own

If lgbtq+ books are banned in schools it’s not as easy for people who may need that info to access it, now is it? Especially if their parents aren’t accepting.

Maybe instead of screeching about which blorbos are the right blorbos to like, or which fictional characters get to play squish and squeeze with each other as if it is going to change the fabric of history and time as it stands, you should be worried about the actual book bans that are destroying actual published authors careers.

Maybe instead of screaming on tumblr where nothing you say will make much of a difference, you should show up at a school board meeting and actually stand up for books that are being banned, which are overwhelmingly penned by lgbtq and/or POC authors.

But y’all won’t, because screaming on the internet into an echo chamber is a whole lot easier.

Consuming your loved ones’ hyperfixations is a special kind of love language

As a great sage I know once said, I don't have a spotify wrapped this year cause I don't use spotify. Real ones get it.

jsyk . if you ever get mad at traumatised people engaging with a completely sfw , non-k!nk / fe.tis.h related coping mechanism that sprouts from childhood abuse / neglect or just general stress, and label them a freak or bully them or anything along that lines, you're ableist, a complete cunt and i dont like you. this goes double for if you completely REFUSE to understand the concept of what the coping mech is and why its helpful. traumatised people dont owe you normalcy and we sure as fuck dont owe you an explanation 👍 and if you disagree w/ me you can piss off

oh yeah. the reason why i decided to reread tbhk (and thus it was able to hit me like a truck this time around) was actually not bc of mitsukou going canon but actually bc i maybe accidentally started a tbhk book club w my kids at work and wanted to check the contents of it justttt in case before i put the books in their hands

So to be clear tumblr is the only social media i actually bother to use with any regularly, but sometimes you crave variety. For example sometimes going on reddit is a nice distraction, and my feed is all really interesting silly low-investment type posts that i can scroll thru and be entertained by without feeling like i have to engage. and other times it feels exactly like facebook. just suggested post after suggested post that makes me say "god you people are so fucking unbelievably stupid." posts seemingly hand picked to make me so enraged, the exact kind of shit I go online to AVOID.

currently it's recommending me a bunch of posts about "why does America have so much looting?" That have a bunch of responses like, "Because of the crime wave, no one prosecutes shoplifters, people have just noticed its so easy to get a group together on whatsapp, etc" and WHY? It thinks I would want or need these posts? Idfk??? I hang out in r/antiwork and like 3 other main subs about being homeless and random entertainment topics. I don't use reddit for politics or world events. I do NOT get my news from there.

Anyway there was also one recommended thread about "why do rural folk feel looked down upon by city folks?" And all the responses were, "yeah! It's them who are rude to the city people!" And when someone mentioned the lack of resources in rural areas, another person chimed in to say "well I lived in Detroit and now I live in a rural area and we have WAY more food and resources than Detroit does!" But the second anyone brings up, you know, the socioeconomic factors that influence that shit, everyone's like whining and crying bc their little brains can't handle ""bringing race into it."" someone had a different life experience than you?! Pft, sure, and then all the bystanders clapped! 🙄

idk it's like. the more time goes on, the wider economic gaps become, the more obvious it is how effectively people are brainwashed. It's not like the answers to these questions are hidden esoteric mysteries. It's not like people having different, individual experiences in life is new. Even my grandma understands that a) people aren't actually looting that much and b) even if they were, have you bought groceries in the past 3 years? if so, why are you even asking that question?? But you try to actually talk about how bad shits getting and these fuckers go into high gear defending The American Way Of Life and blaming individual choices. Ppl are drinking the Kool aid so hard and they think water is just supposed to fucking taste like that

On one hand toya tenma hc is one of my favorite things ever and it’s very important to me but on the other part of me is coming to hate it bc fans are so insufferable about it

hope you aren’t going to watch episode 9 or any of the upcoming seasons anymore

Deleting the rest of these and idk if they’re all one person or multiple but to anyone who sent them it’s so funny to me that I cannot kick my obsession with this show and you seemingly cannot kick your obsession with my stupid little blog because you’re blowing up my phone BA-BY! Tethered of us 🥰

no one asked for my opinion but. obviously you can spend your money any way you want. but i feel like it takes very little brainpower to understand why people who need to crowdfund to pay bills and survive may be frustrated when they see people doing things like buying a tumblr checkmark or donating to ao3. like you guys understand why that might make someone angry right. to constantly have to ask for help shouting into the void only to be met with harassment. if someone critiques your choice to donate to ao3 it’s not because they don’t care about queer/neurodivergent people and their expression like. cmon. for the so called “tolerant left” people really seem to have a hard time practicing basic consideration of situations unlike your own

does any other afab person get scared that ur like fetishizing mlm couples and u have to remind yourself that deep down you have gender confusion and also there just isnt as much good wlw media or is that just me

Saw Persona 4 trending on twitter today and

and twitter must have DM limits and Like/Tweet limits because?

with the DM Problem people can allow messages from people they follow or even close messages and allowing no messages from anyone, simple as that

Tweet limits is just dumb as an idea like why do that
