Piracy is without a doubt, truly evil. It doesn’t help the artists, it robs them of their rightful revenue and is such a poor basis for a business model, it’s unworthy of consideration. Of course, new streaming sites are miles better, offering a legal way to listen to free music. Hmm – Lady Gaga got a million plays on Spotify and earned $167.
Roughly a week before it acquires The Pirate Bay, Global Gaming Factory (GGF) outed its first entertainment industry partner. The Swedish Performing Rights Society confirmed negotiations with the company and sees a legal Pirate Bay as a “window of opportunity” to make up for the “heavy losses” it suffers from file-sharing.
