"The problem has gotten so bad that, in 2015, vinyl record sales generated more income for music creators than the billions of music streams on YouTube and its competitors."
Thats crazy , who would ever think that would happen .

We need a total reset.
Fresh laws without the hands of the lobbyists.
I have little hope after I did watch Michael Moore's Capitalism: A Love Story documentation.
Its all under control of corporate America.
In Europe its similar.
Many GS Bankers are in leading Positions in the EU Politics.
Germany as the biggest country in the EU is following all the deregulation mantras from oversea.
There a no option left.
We the people have to stand for our rights.
I ask myself why the most people are just very passive about it.
Why is the music business not organizing a Walk to Washington.
A Walk to Brussels.
Making a point that enough is enough.

Every musician making music or touring should boycott and let Youtube and all of these television networks and movies try and survive on sound alikes.

I am surprised that there hasn't been an organized "March on Washington" type of event. Musicians are people who will get in a car and crash anywhere. So, I'm surprised there hasn't been a call to arms so to speak.

Someone famous should just speak out loud first.
The problem is that many young musicians believe in the system internet.
They tell you something of the currency named LIKES.
They are totally brainwashed by the lobbyists tricks.

"...Many GS Bankers are in leading Positions in the EU Politics..." Not just the EU my friend. Robert Rubin former CEO of Goldman Sachs became US Secretary of Treasury under Bill Clinton during which time the 'Glass Steagall' act was repealed. The repeal of Glass Steagall allowed the big Wall Street banks to go back to the 'casino' and gamble with other people's money. This paved the way for the GFC in 2008. Hank Paulson former CEO of Goldman Sachs became US Secretary of Treasury under George W. Bush during which time the the Global Financial Crisis erupted and Paulson demanded (and received) $750 billion of US taxpayer funds (TARP) to bail out the same banks responsible for the crisis in the first place. Much of this money went to bankers in the form of 'bonuses'. Malcolm Turnbull a former merchant banker and former head of Goldman Sachs (Australia) is the current Prime Minister of Australia. During the current election campaign Turnbull has announced tax breaks for the wealthy and cuts to social services. "It's a big club and you ain't in it. You and I ain't in the big club" - George Carlin. |

I'm not surprised. Goldman Sachs is one of the major evil empires out there.
