what's an artist anyways? ...I don't even know anymore. (this will only get worse now that we're on the verge of some neural net 'rendering' as much music as you can listen to in anybody's style; I mean, it's been done in a lab already) also, this seems to be all about the rights to royalties (collecting rent) for the playback of music. what's that got to do with artistry?
