Comment on All this AI nonsense is an attempt to capitalize on the mere act of human thinking
Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 19 hours agoHere’s a fun question: Do you own the music you buy on a CD? Or is the CD just the license to listen to music that belongs legally to someone else?

Depends on what you mean by “own”.
Buying the CD has a key difference from Spotify in that no one can (typically) take the cd away from you. Music disappears from Spotify all the time. You can also (typically) copy it to other storage. And, most relevant to the topic of rent vs buy, you just pay for it once and you’re done. No subscription, no ads. That stuff is important to me.
You can’t usually take music you got from a CD and put it in your movie, for example, but that’s a whole conversation about fair use and copyright.

I understand completely but your argument is more medium based than ownership based, that was my only real point.
