It is

hmmm. maybe if you could "check out" one album at a time for a few weeks that would be way better than the current streaming set up.

"tell my why i should lose money"

"because these other morons do it"

Mfers don't realize if they disband streaming I'm hitting the seven seas instantly lol

better for the artist than streaming is

I hope OP at least makes music with this joke ass angle

An artist could and should be able to say “no my music isnt free, Im not interested in your library and I’d like to be compensated while living”

lol if you are going to offer something for free why limit it

alot of the are

Because it’s more so for archival purposes.

Also artists need to be compensated properly

That’s more so an issue with artists compensation and our society as a whole

Artists would still be compensated.

My service is more so for the archival of music on a grander scale with no private companies involved.

If they don’t wanna be apart of it so be it.

I just made a dj mix last week and it being extremely difficult to get it on YouTube/soundcloud inspired this somewhat

and go #1💅🏿

books still aren't free. you can checkout books, videos, and even music at a library but you have to later return it.

there are things like Project Gutenberg where some librarians are constantly consolidating older and/or special books to be publically available for free but there is also things like that for music as well like the free music archive. Only caveat is...the work is very old.

tldr: music, like books and all other mediums of art need to have value.

Books still have value whether they’re in a library or not.

IMO they have even more value being in a library such that anyone is able to check it out & they’re being archived properly.

Music would still have value if they were in a digital public music library and the artists were compensated property (pay them directly/private streaming services)

what about people that make income off the music, what do they now, and i dont mean the greedy corporate guys

yea

So people whose job it is to make music… should do it for free?

Music been free lol

No. I don’t think you read my original post

Artists would still be compensated directly or with private streaming services

They should also archive their music such that people are able to access it for some time for free

In my ideal world, labels and the government would work together to make sure everyone is paid with no exploits

hows fifth grade brother?

I’m a grown ass man that still has his imagination

But who’s paying the artists if the music is free? The streaming services barely pay artists as it is

Op dumb as f***. No I will not elaborate why
