The growing popularity of the “Bowie” bond — a security backed by royalties — may sound strange, but it’s nothing new. In treating songs like annuities, capitalists prove once again that nothing is too sacred, or silly, to be commodified.

    they’re complaining about how much competition there is

    And is that competition fair?

    new quality music artists put music on YouTube and music subscription services.

    And most of us will never be exposed to it,

    There’s a ton of good music

    Again, most of us will never be exposed to it. It is culturally lost.

    so you have to spend a lot of money to actually make a career out of your own music

    So you disagree with yourself about the best music ‘spreading itself’? I genuinely don’t want to humiliate you because I think you are contributing to the discussion in good faith and English may not be your first language but readers should be aware that this isn’t a properly considered point to make.

    So traditional music industry is incredibly important to success because they market. They have money to place music where people hear it.

    You make my point for me, perhaps even better than I did.
