So he implies that Apple is getting rich at the musicians' cost, which I agree with.
There are some musicians who are trying to make it outside the walled garden, but no-one got particularly rich. I think Amanda Palmer is making money with Patreon, but she wasn't particularly poor to begin with (husband with movie-deals etc.)
