She did not take the photo. I did. Kidsleepy is a he. There is more than one of us at adland.
I am also a CD. And I do care if people steal steal. And it's not just because I don't subscribe to copyleft argument, which I obviously don't. It's because if someone is stealing it means they are doing hack work, and that reflects on me, and I consider that a bad job, not a good one.
Maybe your opinion differs as long as enough money goes around. That's fine.
While I admire your brazen if not dour existential outlook on life, I do need to correct one thing you said:
Enough money does not go around. If it did, my production house friends would not be holding out for the lowest asshole bidder just to make ends meet.
I suspect the prevailing "everything is free" attitude has a lot to do with it. Why pay beach house for their song when you can create a knock off? Am I right?
Why should the money go round at all? And what is it going around for? Why is someone paying you to be a creative director? I mean, you're not creating anything, right? We're all renting everything. So why should we pay if we don't own?
Even the most boneheaded Kim Dotcom freehadist is better at articulating their argument.
Stop picking on Reddit! They have such wonderful commentators. And besides, they champion free speech.
I feel the most pity for the audience. For the most part these "featured partner" monikers are as bad as bad as writing "advertorial," in five point type at the top of an ad in a magazine. the difference is in a print magazine you don't share it. Online you share it, thinking it's cool, but would you still think it cool if you knew it was "promoted content?" I doubt it.
That's a very good point. It could be there's a bit of both in that both sides are complicit in exploitation to one extent or another. As an advertising site, that really isn't our focus. But to your point, if you haven't heard of these FX studios, thanks to Life of Pi, you know their work. Also just because you have heard of Skywalker Ranch or WETA Digital it doesn't mean they aren't given to the same pressures as the others.
