    When you are older you will struggle to revisit that same shared culture by those using intellectual property legalities to paywall your soul.

    Again, you are fully entitled and within you legal right to sing those songs to your heart’s content to relive the glory days; that does not mean that you are entitled to a high fidelity recording of the original work in perpetuity simply because you paid to listen to it once at a club…

        How would you have maintained your memory of that song and culture 500 years ago? What stops you from doing the same thing now?

        Any problem you describe is the result of individual choices, not technology or IP law.

        If anything, IP law maintains the integrity and cultural significance of creation by not allowing rampant capitalist exploitation…

            You are out of your mind if you think that it is not enabling rampant capitalist exploitation. It has literally given a handful of companies complete power over all of it.

            Sounds like your problem is with artists selling their IP to corporations… And frankly with yourself for not creating more, or engaging in communal practice.

            Stop blaming some big bad for your own lack of social engagement.

                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.
