Maverick music producer Steve Albini, known during his life to refuse royalties on the music of his clients, once put it like this:
The single best thing that has happened in my lifetime in music, after punk rock, is being able to share music, globally for free. There won’t ever be a mass-market record industry again, and that’s fine with me because that industry didn’t operate for the benefit of the musicians or the audience, the only classes of people I care about.
✏️ It’s all about perspective, especially when it comes to laws.
