I like what he said about "sweat equity" and tangible ownership... I had to mow a lot of yards when I was a kid to grow my album collection lol.
Now, everything is about a monthly fee for access/permission... but you own nothing.

I wonder... Is AI actually stealing from the major labels, or stealing from the millions of "unlicensed amateurs" posting to the net every second?

But this is all academic. The "labels" have had the music industry cornered for a long time already; Unless, you have the means to create YOUR OWN label. Some have managed to do that in the past, which is surely embarrassing to the industry...
