@Openmastering
it's going to happen anyway. the internet has made information slippery and difficult to control, and people are going to do that whether you like it or not. and that's kind of the beauty of the internet, the ease of remixing things nowadays has brought about a cultural renaissance. copyright is failing anyway, might as well speed it along and keep up with the times as a creator
One solution to the revenue issue for musicians is freely distributing the digital music and selling merch, physical copies, and concert tickets for income, much how Run the Jewels operates.
This doesn't work, however, if one's work is largely copied by larger figures early on, such that building a following and steady income is difficult to impossible because people first and foremost encounter soullessly copied derivatives of one's music and the original artist is now "just another copy."
Hence the discussion on how much of a work must be original.
