Imagine if 20 / 30 years ago when MP3 was first going mainstream the music industry had, instead of suing Napster, just bought them out and turned the whole thing into a subscription music service. Back then it cost £4 to buy ONE SONG (RIP Woolworths). I’d have signed up to £20+ a month for unlimited music even at 2005 prices. Instead they let everyone get used to the idea music could be free so Spotify had to price incredibly low to compete. Hence, crap money for artists.
