Actually last time I checked apple did their keynotes mentioning the environment and stuff, greenwashing their choices... I'm curious what they'll do now.
Just like Tesla, they might have saturated their liberal userbase, I wouldn't be too surprised if they took a more "neutral" stance
Actually about Gates, does anyone know about his stance on the current fascist takeover?
Absolutely not, I did not imply that, the post is about digital reproduction/ownership of music (if I haven't misunderstood it)
And that is, basically, free, a very "low" cost of copying bytes. What we pay on Spotify and Apple Music are not the artists, not their instruments or recording hardware or mastering software.
We pay the intermediaries.
Concerts, museums, theatres, etc, have high costs so I'm completely fine for them to cost money to the visitors.
(Oh and I believe Bandcamp is a close second)
Ideally one wouldn't need to pay to experience a form of art
Rather, one should first experience the art, and then if they want they could make a donation
I think that buying a CD directly from the musician at their concert or event is the only truly direct way that doesn't end up giving most of the money to monopolistic intermediary
Ouch xD
