This is only going to accelerate. Until the labels die, the universe will find every way to route around them.

Hopefully concert venues are next.

How are musicians are going to perform live before large audiences?

I'm referring to the Ticketmaster / Live Nation monopoly.

If you're not familiar, the company has a corner on the market for concert venues and all associated services (booking, ticket resale, food and liquor vendors, point of sale, etc.) They use this to inflate ticket prices.

How is shoveling AI generated songs going to take down ticket master?
