Dear Larry,
Nice post!
I especially liked the sentence where you used the words "textile" and "thread".
Well crafted!
Dear Kimberly,
Artists are not being stripped of their rights, they are merely being forced to jettison their dated monetization models and embrace new ones.
The failure of copyright laws in China did not force Chinese musicians to starve (or even stop creating), it merely forced them to embrace new monetization models.
So, for example, they derive the lion's share of their income from commercials, endorsements, and live performances rather than CD sales.
If musicians want to make money from their creations (as opposed to merely expressing themselves) then they need to be prepared to change their monetization strategies in conformance with changing consumer practices.
