same way the Republican and Democratic parties used to represent real Americans…and now serve Corporate America first and foremost.
Obviously the Internet isn’t going anywhere, but he has every right to regulate the use(or abuse) of his artwork online. Keep in mind, most
websites like Youtube and Ebay make billions of dollars in adverising and sales - while none of the money goes to the artists who’s work they show or sell everyday. Say what you want, but the Internet is making the recording industry disappear. If artists(or labels) can’t make money off their artwork, they
will simply cease to record new music.
