I'm like you with music, but I feel obliged to point out that folks like us are outliers today. So the GP is correct in the sense that the majority of things are moving from ownership -> renting (though there'll always exist some die-hard holdouts).
- allturtles 5y agoMaybe, but economically music rental is nothing like housing rental. No one is renting music because they are unable to buy it or can't afford to.
- disqard 5y agoYou're right, and that is an important dimension to consider -- thanks for pointing it out! I was coming from a perspective of ownership erosion, precipitated through the continuous encroachment of corporate rent-seeking behavior (because that leads to consistently growing revenue streams).
