If you're in Sydney on the 28th and want to hear a few of us artists, academics, and activists discuss Universal Basic Income for Artists, free tix available now 🙂

I'll personally be speaking on my experience in the Video Game Audio industry, and how I witness new and diverse voices every day, ready to be empowered by a UBI.

@zak The other day, a major phone network went down in my country, and I couldn't get the 2FA text to access my work account...
So having SMS-based 2FA was actually the vulnerability here..

Where the algorithms usually feed you more reasons to be cynical, I gotta thank YouTube for blessing my night with this one 🎵

@dbat Yeah wow, it actually happened..

@dbat Yeah, Public Domain may not be for everyone, but I do think it addresses 3 major issues with creative works:

1) Avoids artistic visions being incentivised and skewed by $.

2) An acknowledgement that ALL art is the net result of the work of many people, not just the 1 who has their name on the credits.

3) Being able to actually separate art from the artist (in case I turn out to be an ass, you can still download the music for free and know that I'm not making profit from it).

I would just like to call on my fellow Australians to be fully aware of anti-China propaganda in our media.
