It is physically impossible to ?own? information. A trademark, copyright or patent is a temporary (and otherwise illegal) [pseudo-]monopoly and [pseudo-] artificial scarcity (also a crime) that has only still not been put down because its complete lack (and physical impossibility) of enforcability means that nobody had the pressure to form the urge to stop it. ?Property? has no meaning for information, just as it would have no meaning for a house that everybody could copy infinitely, no work required, without the physical possibility of anyone else even being able to notice. It is infinitely abundant and did cost absolutely nothing, and hence is literally worthless.
Unfortunately, the ?average? NPC drone is too retarded to comprehend this difference between real physical matter/energy/work, and purely virtual/imaginary information.
1. It is a physically impossible nonsense concept to ?sell? music. Since you can?t own music in the first place. The term ?ownership? has no meaning in that context. It?s like saying ?go north? when you?re at the north pole. Making music is a service. And he?s making music for the exact reason of actually providing a service, instead of just trying to defraud people with worthless copies. (Especially when the service wasn?t even their own, and they take a 2750% profit margin, like the big 3 do.)
2. Those were never rules for any sane person.
a. ?You'll Never Be Famous Without A Major Label's Help?: Riiight, because nobody knows all those memes and Internet celebrities. And because even a single person still cares for content Mafia garbage.
b. ?No One Takes YouTube "Artists" Seriously?: You content Mafia coke heads are the only ones not taking them seriously. Everybody else gives them bonus points for being real. Not the plastic face garbage the content Mafia produces. And that is exactly why you go have fallen out of relevance.
c. ?Control Every Use Of Your IP?: That is exactly the kind of physically impossible nonsense I was talking about. Information is not a tangible good/property! You can and will never ever be able to control it for that exact reason. One has to be completely delusional and on drugs to still believe such idiocy.
d. ?Full Albums Are The Only True Way To Create/Enjoy Music?: You made that up just now, didn?t you? Or have you missed the concept of singles and EPs completely?
e. ?Real Artists Don't Need To Connect With Fans Or Make Music People Enjoy?: Oh come on, you deliberately lied about that, and everyone is laughing at you by now. When has that ever be true? The whole concept of fans only exists because of connecting with your audience.
All in all this is a damn weak ?article?, consisting of very far-fetched and forced ?assumptions? that nobody falls for.
Or maybe you actually live in the alternate reality of the content Mafia? cause I can imagine them actually being that delusional.

Nonsense.
It is physically impossible to ?own? information.
A trademark, copyright or patent is a temporary (and otherwise illegal) [pseudo-]monopoly and [pseudo-] artificial scarcity (also a crime) that has only still not been put down because its complete lack (and physical impossibility) of enforcability means that nobody had the pressure to form the urge to stop it.

So many false assumptions, it?s not even funny?
