I once saw a guy with an electric violin and speakers playing outside the store my mom and I were going into. I looked a bit closer and he didn’t move his fingers while the music sounded like different eighth notes were happening.

[@Moonfishii]

I don’t blame the kid in the first fake buskers. His mom was most definitely the one who planned the performance, she’s the one holding a sign too. She probably was just trying to profit from this kids violin lessons, like: "I payed for the violin lessons, so I need to make profit!" She probably bribed him to do it, sayings things like: "But we are going to make money, I’ll buy you something with it!" And if she didn’t have to bribe him to do it, you know who he was raised by. And if you say that they need money, she can afford giving her son violin lessons, and speakers. Not to mention their clothes, makeup, and so much more. Side note: They probably used that audio, since there was a beat. So there would be an excuse to have a speaker there. The kid should be defended, but people are defending him for the wrong reasons. The mom is completely at fault here though.

I mean, I'm gonna defend the kid. He's a child, a minor. There's clearly an adult with him, that person is the one where all the anger should be directed at. And I'm sorry, but the copyright music is the least of the problems here. The main question people should be wondering is why the hell is this adult using a child to busk on the streets. It's like exploitation basically, and is similar to the kind of human trafficking that often happens in first world countries. This isn't about stealing work, this is about why the fuck is an adult doing that with a kid, why can't that adult provide for the kid on their own, etc etc. These are the concerns that run through my mind when I see that vid, the music is like last priority.

[@starrynights5855]

@@xtwinni true that is a good point, I'm not saying it's the kid's fault, because they most likely don't know better, and it's true that the adult is at fault, because they clearly seem like a guardian / or have some kind of authoritative power and influence which should not have been used to gain attention or for their own profit. And yea you're right, manipulation and exploitation are bigger problems than art theft, however, I'm saying from my point of view as being a visual artist for years and have been on the internet, that I've seen art theft daily so it comes to my mind more often than probably some one who is like an engineer or something. Again I'm not saying it's the kid's fault, but the adult who is teaching these ideals and the people in the tik tok comments saying that it's ok, cause not only does this encourge art theft but the whole manipulation and exploition issues as people will most likely see it as a way to get some money without consequence or cost, and everyone knows that a lot people will practically do anything for money.

I hate it, us musicians do all the hard work and go through all the ups and downs of learning an instrument, not to mention years of meticulous training, and these random tik-tok "musicians" get millions of likes without even playing the VERY EASY work they uploaded, honestly.

[@grahamd.8713]

You're working yourself up over nothing, mate. All this undue recognition these fake musicians are receiving really isn't worth that much. In some cases these aren't even their tiktok vids to monetize. And those that do monetize them, well... you can pretty easily google how much that amount of likes/subscribers is worth, and it's not exactly a windfall. And as buskers, I doubt if they're pulling in more than a 50$ a day with their routines. And it's not sustainable. You can't keep up that same act in the same spot all day every day and make a fortune. They'll eventually get chased out of that parking lot by a security guard and have to hump their way to some other location, set up, and do it all again. Outside in the heat, with bugs, and annoying people and cars. Are you really jealous of all that? If so, you can always fire up TikTok yourself... real musicians are also permitted to use it. Get yourself out there and rake up those sweet sweet likes if it's so easy. As a real musician you can rest easy that you'll not be stealing anything or scamming anyone. But ain't nobody getting rich here with any of this stuff. They're scrapping by with their little show, and some people throw them some likes/looks and forget about them. After one or two videos they never click on them again. It's just fodder. It's not even the same audience who would ever watch real musicians video (because it's obviously fake), so it's not as though they're really poaching the looks from real musicians. They're scrapping up likes/coins from a totally different group of people... people who want a story and performance. It's not sustainable, lucrative or scalable, because as soon as anyone started making more than a few dollars doing it, and tried to take their act off the curb, they would get sued/fired/etc. What are they gunna do, sell out Carnegie Hall? Give a TED talk? Get invited to meet the president? No. This is just scavenging, and can never evolve to more than that. Don't let it bother you. As a real musician this presents no threat to you. The time you spend being concerned or bothered about it is the probably the only way in which it actually impacts your life/career.

I'm REALLY disturbed and honestly, frightened, that even one person would not only use their child in order to steal (because that's what it is), but how many more people actually DEFEND that kind of immoral behavior! Just a few years ago, this would've caused widespread outrage and the parents roundly condemned for doing something so wrong. Now? Our world has adopted a deeply concerning "anything goes" mentality. So many are walking around with zero moral standard to use to look at themselves and others to know what's right or wrong. Teaching a child to lie and steal should be a no-brainer. Unfortunately, when people lose sight of the moral law, there's no basis for right or wrong at all.

[@JoanneDunham]

Not only are the two of you very talented with great personality you both also have good moral values and seemed to be very disappointed that the child fake playing was being let down by that adult by not teaching him good moral values but was showing him the complete opposite.
