Modern Rebellion
Audacious acts in the world of music
Modern rebellion: The other day I listened to an entire album via a compact disc I bought. The sound quality was fantastic.
The payment I made skipped over the streaming services. As a result, the record label and artist made more than the $0.003 per song play the streaming services pay. (Amazingly, I could afford the price of a CD, even though I made less than the CEO of Spotify this year, who cashed out with $345 million.)
The streaming services could not spy on me to document what artist and which specific songs I listened to. They hate that. Apparently George Orwell saw these people coming.
But what really ticks them off is they:
Had no way to shove ads at me while I listened to the album.
Could not then try to steer me to tracks from the fake artists they have been creating, as a means of paying actual musicians even less.
So yes, strangely, by listening to CDs I pay for, I live life on the edge.
