Comment on Music labels sue Internet Archive over digitized record collection
mark@programming.dev 1 year agoI remember back when music (or any artistic expression really) was done out of passion to help people enjoy life more and musicians did other things like picking up a trade for money.
These days, people feel like they can’t do anything without being paid for it.

When was this? When did people who need to devote their life to a craft long enough to get good at not want, even need, to be paid for it? There have always been hobbyists, and maybe that’s all you want, but there has never been a time when musicians would not have preferred to be supported by their passion, rather than the job they had to do in order to keep eating.
