A world without corporate musicians? A-OK.

I'm not clear why there would be no musicians if it requires minimum wage, razor thin profit margins, etc.

Music and art existed before currency was a thing. It will continue to exist as long as humans exis.

You can pay musicians fairly by streaming and buying through other channels like Bandcamp and resonate.is, which if we all did it would make the profession far more viable.

Most musicians and artist make nothing from their music and art, yet folks are still making it.
