Are you not aware of how music is sold / streamed etc?
- rickydroll 2y agoYes, I am. Music is currently layered by a series of copyrights, including their copyright music copyright, mechanical reproduction copyright, etc. Each stage exists as a layer to accommodate a new technology, and rent is extracted in each stage. Music on physical media, files, or streams is not sold. You rent a "performance license," which permits playing the music on that media. The type of performance license depends on the context in which you are "performing." see: https://www.soundreef.com/en/blog/music-licenses/ https://www.soundreef.com/en/blog/music-licenses/ As I said, copyright has nothing to do with compensation. It creates a monopoly, and the purpose of a monopoly is to enable rent-seeking.
