    major record labels consider it a parasitic threat

    Well, they would know. Takes one to know one.

    What do record labels even do anymore? Broadcast radio is dying and even when it was less dead, it was the same 100 payola songs on repeat. It’s never been cheaper or easier to self-record and publish, and there are all kinds of online platforms artists can use to distribute their work and get paid.

    Hell, the last few new artists I’ve found were from YouTube/Spotify/Band Camp and had Patreon accounts.

    The music industry needs to die off already.

      The music industry needs to die off already.

      You know what I find it akin to in the industry I work in and I know this gonna cause some controversy - but the 9-5 Mon-Fri managers we have at work.

      I work something called Continental shifts which are basically days/nights/days/nights on a A/B/C/D rota throughout the space of a month.

      What I find telling is we run absolutely fine on weekend days and all our night shifts but, we have these what I’m going to call leeches (but the controversial term is…Office Drones) just like the copyright fuckwads illustrated here that suddenly appear throughout the week and are a general nuisance?

      They really don’t do anything I can see that benefits the company/industry other than sending emails etc for others to send them a report that’s readily available/start bullshit investigation etc.

      They make me grumble these leeches :/
