This is a strawman argument. Obviously I would like to see -all- artists get paid a living wage at least for their work. The fact that life isn't fair and TS makes millions isn't my fault, and is not what I'm specifically advocating here.
- pydry 6y agoObviously you would like to see all artists get paid a living wage in theory but the mechanism for "getting artists paid" that you actually support is one that excels mostly at getting Taylor Swift and her record labels paid, not the average musician. So no, I don't think it is such of a straw man. It's not the average musician who is affected by pirates. Spotify will send them $90 / month instead of $100 / month, maybe.
