Characteristics of LRRGs that made this possible
- Shared identity
- "We are LRRGs"
- "We are being targeted" (whether or not this is the intent of UMG, WMG, etc)
- Forum, blog, Facebook group enable discussions outside of YouTube
- Might be similar
- Sharing knowledge
- US law, copyright, DMCA, fair use
- Music industry, consolidation, royalty structures
- Communication in the forum enables and empowers sers to stick to their guns, be proactive
Stewardship in public/private spaces
- LRRGs
- Activated
- Educated
- Organized
- Only to discover that the law does not operate as expected in YouTube
- Questions of stewardship
- Migration is possible
- But sacrifies existing network
- Framing the issue in terms of "consumer rights"
- What they ought to be able to do as fans + musicians
- Sense that YouTube should side with them and not their "partners"
- When YouTube doesn't do this, they believe that YouTube is corrupted and acting disingenuously rather than acting the way a public corporation ought to (in favor of its shareholders)
- Migration is possible
