That's not going to happen for lots of reasons. For a start, no way will the current US govt will spend any more money on bullshit such as "cultural heritage".
A candidate that comes to my mind right now: Laibach - Smrt za smrt (Death for death)
However, IMO much of the heaviness is based on the fact that the "singer" is reading a description of some sort of war crimes, in Slovenian D:
For classical music, I used to go every other week, these days I go much more rarely, let's say once every month or even every two months. (But just last week I went to four because there was a festival.) For non-classical acts, I try to catch every performance of the bands I know, local or non-local, and maybe try something new and random just so, which usually amounts to 2-3 concerts a year.
I find articles and takes of this sort to be kind of "storm in a glass of water", not really an issue if you just take a step back, and with somewhat made-up problems, e.g. pop songs used to go on for 3 or maaaybe 4 minutes, now the author complains they are just 2 mins - but the format never was conductive to "telling a proper story" at all.
If someone thinks Spotify is that bad, idk just stop using it? I've never used it and I'm doing just fine. There's plenty of other ways of discovering and accessing and living with music.
I get the impression people of that sort have mostly ended up on RateYourMusic.
TIL, thank you.
Ouch, so umm you mean there were side effects to... pregnant horse piss estrogen?

Of course not, I was just joking.
Well my local library disagrees because they expect me to pay my late fees, smh.
They also have no blood or blood vessels, just a little heart and blood-like stuff splashing around.
In an ideal society, IP laws would definitely not exist. The idea by itself is inarguably desirable.
But, more practically, IP laws should be abolished or reformed to accommodate the needs of the average creator and the average consumer. The two people who proposed this change are not average creators in the slightest, they're looking to benefit primarily their own class, the consequences for the other 99.99% are irrelevant.
A reform of this type should start at the very least with small and realistic steps. Can we e.g. reduce the absurd duration of copyright protection (author's life + 70 years)? Reducing it by just 20-30 years would be an incredible boon to human culture, and it would have zero serious negative consequences.
But they only talk about it in the most vague terms, no details or anything, and Dorsey doesn't seem to have actually described any of those other ways of compensation. They're just greedy megalomaniacs throwing ideas around.
Hmm, I tried it out on my phone and the results are visually uneven, most oddly the comment text is slightly smaller than the comment timestamp. I don't know if this is intended or really an issue though?
