@a0b872c9 by cultural do you mean large business trying to protect its interest ? im not sure what you mean. economically it makes sense for the artists. its a no brainer. just waiting for someone to write the software in a way i can support (ie decentralised database) 

 @a226b6cc both sides: big business certainly fighting against it, artists brought up to assume they need big business... 

 @a0b872c9 mmm yeh dumb artists will be a problem up until they figure out how much they could have made i suppose. i think one clever PR campaign could ruin them tbh. get spotify on board and they are dead.
