i mean 4000 chauffeur driven beedubs going about in elite lanes whilst ambulances stuck in traffic, londoners are gonna love that.
thing is, i am a musician and ive grown over the years to seriously disagree with what a lot of my peers believe regarding copyright. what i have found is that most musicians take the spoon fed rhetoric from the music industry and consider it true, as opposed to the figures being "debunked." we know this, we do, but when copyright issues crop up most souls are reticent and have no worked through response.
musicians sell their wares to conglomerates and tyrants in order to promote false promise, this should be questioned.
musicians cultural capital is in imbalance because promoted musos take more than they need. this distorts many local music scenes.
musicians must step up and educate themselves for their pop art not to fall into further demise.
the recorded music business looks like a c20th event. hehe.

the term "true fan" is disingenuous at best and wholly misleading at worst because the sentence "They can't wait till you issue your next work" informs us, the "true fan" is not expecting to listen to the work before they decide or decode whether or not they can appreciate it for what it is. "true fan" could be changed to 'gush bucket,' and few concious people could complain about the more accurate nomenclature employed. lol.
"keeping your content locked up and hoping that someone important "discovers" you and makes you a star." music making is not solely about this. its also about in heavy measure, creating a social network of friends and a space where one can have fun and take risks in the realms of the imaginative aesthetics.
