It is obvious that the new generations have absolutely no clue on what
it is to create a new and original work.
everyone who creates, or is an inventor or a writer, needs to spend
all day doing and thinking about his work in order to come up with a
masterpiece.
how can these people survive if once they create anyone has access to
their works?
sooner or later they have to pay the rent, food etc. and why bother
doing something so difficult if it kills you?
spiritually music should be free to be listened to by everybody and
free to mutate as it wishes.
record companies have altered the natural, regional, cultural
mechanism of music to the point of making it so big it imploded in a
marketing black hole.
this does not mean you can take somebody's recording at will and not
pay for it if you wish.
it is the person who invested time and effort and money into the
recording who decides if it will be available free of charge or not.
If the person in question feels that music comes out of the artist in
an intangible form and he does not posess it once it has left him,
this does not mean that a SOUND RECORDING of the performance belongs
to everybody as well.
this baby attitude towards the fact that since it's not material it
belongs to everybody makes me think about how little original thinking
occurs in the average mind.
Only someone who's been working on something for a great part of their
lives knows how it feels for someone else to take it without asking.
