As with people posting music for free for the past twenty years, if it’s poor quality I move along. The fact of the matter is that the Facebook live methodology is easier for most without proper equipment to make and publish a recording. It’s the musical equivalent of a Polaroid camera.

Few will acknowledge this, but in my opinion, the music Industry itself is mostly to blame for its own downfall.

There aren’t that many who demand quality over convenience. This has been true for as long as music or photography has been recorded. Format has gravitated to smaller and more convenient means, almost always at the sacrifice of some quality, for over 150 years. Then technology comes along and resets the quality bar higher and the cycle begins anew.

FB live streams and similar streaming will continue to proliferate and the quality will get better by most as time moves along
