The world is changing rapidly, Nazneen. Here in America, the very foundation of our democracy is being attacked, and not from foreign enemies, but from within -our own elected leaders. Greed is the worst sin, according to Lao Tzu, and it hits musicians, writers, and artists. The creative people have historically suffered, and it seems it continues to this day. I will continue to purchase your wonderful music because I enjoy listening to it. I don't stream anything.
Thanks Tom. You are right, this is not a new problem. I do find it a strange one though, because we do value music/art in the sense that many of us could not bear a life without it. And it has always been so. And yet few societies either now or in the past have managed to not exploit creatives.
