      Oligarchy has nothing to do with you choosing not to share in song with your neighbors. You’re making shitty excuses for your laziness.

          500 years ago people would get together in the same space and would sing it together. We still have that in pockets, but that isn’t how it is done now.

          You relying on the commercial accessibility to music to capture your history and culture is 100% a “you” problem. No one is making you do that.

              Keep struggling then.

              It’s not my responsibility to explain the implications behind your own words. Learn to communicate more effectively.

                  Yeah, so, 50 years later, when you can barely remember the lyrics, you drift from said culture unless you can you know, listen and refresh your memory. That is my entire point. Intellectual property rights paywall culture…

                  If your “culture” and ability to remember your youth is contingent upon songs being available on streaming services that’s not a problem you can blame on publishers.

                  Without publishers, who do you imagine would be distributing this music in 50 years when the bands in question are broken up, destitute, or dead? What’s the oldest independently published music you have access to right now?
