Yawn... sounds like 1999, when the piracy was supposed to kill the music industry. It survived, and thrived just fine. So tired of seeing this bullshit.
- jowea 3y agoDon't the artists now get a much bigger share of their income from shows? That's not really an option for the TV/Movie/Video media producers.
- OfSanguineFire 3y agoThere was a time when many artists said "It’s OK if people download, as long as they come to the show and buy merch, where the money goes directly into our pockets." However, touring has become more expensive for bands. It is now common to hear of even fairly popular acts canceling a tour somewhere, just because they can’t make it work out financially. Add to this two years of restrictions on live performances under COVID in many countries and there was no obvious way for acts to generate a decent income.
