Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Seems to me to be “same old same old” when it comes to music/streaming/piracy/copyright...etc. Streaming cost per user is coming down, down, down. Floating towards “zero”.... consumers now visit illegal streaming sites (instead of illegal download sites).

The “business” of selling “art”, especially art that is by its nature highly scalable, is becoming more and more difficult.

Personally I think the reality is one of economics. Supply and demand. The cost and barriers to entry of producing the art are so low and coming down all the time.

I gave up trying to get a licensing deal when I heard, on a podcast, that one person submitted over two hundred tracks for one licensing opportunity!!! I also heard someone else had made some huge number of tracks (if I remember correctly it was in the tens of thousands...) and made these available on Pandora.
