On: Home Taping Is Killing Music: When the music industry waged war on the cassette

People laugh at all of this but Napster really did kill the music industry. No really. It did. And whatever it didn’t kill, YouTube did.

So. Haha. Stupid musicians and their stupid stuffed suit execs. Lol.

Funnily enough there still seems to be a music industry.

Maybe we do not need that industry to exist anymore.

You have more than hundred years of backlog at your fingertips as well as new stuff going out constantly. Music is abundant.

Eventually to be automated too, by the likes of musicgen.
