I wonder if copyright will still be around in 50 years? It's easy to record music. It's easy to share music. It's hard to untangle what inspired a piece of music, and how much an artist reused previous work. I wonder when the whole scheme of copyright will collapse under its own weight.
- zaik 5y agoThis has been the case for at least 20 years, so why hasn't it collapsed yet?
- mymythisisthis 5y ago20 years ago it was still difficult to download music. In the 1990s and early 2000 there was much discussion around copyright. Specifically how much the fan base contributed to the success of a song. How much does each song borrow from others. In the teens, many streaming services came about, people could legally listen to almost anything they wanted on Youtube. The conversation died down. 'Algorithms' helped to police Youtube. What's going to be the next stage? I think just fatique with the whole industry. Maybe cancel copyright for authors that are found to be abusers?
