“I’m not saying it’s unfair. I’m saying it won’t work.” Companies exist to serve their customers. The companies that forget this tend to decline.

  How about the case where the customers are various shareholders and not end-users?

  >Companies exist to serve their customers. No problem then, because those who get their songs off of YouTube are not their customers (or, in any case, are not their customers for those particular songs).

    That's a bit like saying "No problem, we just won't make money then." Netflix seems to be a good example of forward thinking.

      >Netflix seems to be a good example of forward thinking. We already have content from the music companies to streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music, which is exactly what Netflix does. In fact we had streaming services for music long before Netflix was a thing (e.g. Real's), so theirs is hardly "forward thinking".
