This account is getting very sleepy.

So if you are looking for updates or musings related to me / Freeloading, check out my website, Twitter, Facebook or Wordpress for the time being.

I’m sorry Tumblr. You’re slick as all hell but I gotta get my digital house in order. See you in the singularity.

“Freeloading: the perfect gift for that music-obsessed young person in your family that you’re sort of struggling to relate to these days.”

There will apparently be video of the event streaming from NYPL sometime in the near future.

We did not, exactly, explain that. I’m not sure what we explained. We talked, though.

““If you ask people whether they think it’s okay to knowingly violate the rights of an artist, I don’t think you’ll find many people who think it’s okay,” says Ruen. “Maybe there’s a few, but even those people aren’t saying that because they think it’s okay, it’s because they’re justifying it and conflating it with other issues.” In Freeloading, Ruen picks apart some of the justifications for illegal downloading — from the belief that record labels and rich artists “deserve it” (for price gouging, greed, and generally being dicks to their fans) to the idea that piracy helps smaller artists reach a wider audience.”
