except you forgot the part about the good musician having no time to make
anything good anymore as he had to get a job since apparently there was
no longer any monetary value to what he worked on. We wouldn't have been
there at the pub due to having no money, or perhaps he would have been
the one serving the drinks and muttering bitterly... I mean sure that
kind of suffering life experience contributes to good music, but who has
the time. Everyone needs to pay rent. The point is it's up to whoever
made the music to decide where it goes, no one else. If you want to give
your music free, go ahead and I'm happy the channels for you to do so
exist. However not all artist want to, and don't lump the entire music
industry under one big shitty umbrella.
