Replace music with anything served over the Internet: news, movies, photography, art, etc.
Will this become unsustainable at some point? Money is definitely flowing on the Internet, but not necessarily into the pockets of the content producers.
In fact, this article glosses over the fact that the RIAA used to have such a huge stranglehold over the industry that they were the ones profiting off the musicians, wasn't this why Prince was "formerly known as" for a long while?
- 6stringmerc 10y agoYes, Prince was very clear that he felt his recording contract was unfair. To the point of going out in public with "Slave" written on his cheek[1]. Not surprised the author left out that kind of musician-industry relationship when bringing up Prince.
