    500 years ago people would get together in the same space and would sing it together. We still have that in pockets, but that isn’t how it is done now.

    IP law absolutely does not maintain integrity or cultural significance. You are out of your mind if you think that it is not enabling rampant capitalist exploitation. It has literally given a handful of companies complete power over all of it.

      You are out of your mind if you think that it is not enabling rampant capitalist exploitation. It has literally given a handful of companies complete power over all of it.

      Sounds like your problem is with artists selling their IP to corporations… And frankly with yourself for not creating more, or engaging in communal practice.

      Stop blaming some big bad for your own lack of social engagement.

        What does social engagement have to do with any of this? We are talking about ownership of culture.

        Why are you defending oligarchy of culture? You have made some amazing leaps in logic here that are not even remotely based in the objective.

          Oligarchy has nothing to do with you choosing not to share in song with your neighbors. You’re making shitty excuses for your laziness.

              You relying on the commercial accessibility to music to capture your history and culture is 100% a “you” problem. No one is making you do that.

                I am really struggling here to see where I said that I was choosing not to share a song with my neighbors in there. Why pivot to an entirely different point?

                This is a societal issue, not an individual one.

                  Keep struggling then.

                  It’s not my responsibility to explain the implications behind your own words. Learn to communicate more effectively.

                    My ability to communicate isn’t the issue here. You’re either trolling or in this conversation in a dishonest capacity. The points you are trying to counter are not things I have even put forth.
