Do you pay every busker you pass by? Or do you block your ears when you pass to ensure you don't "steal" the music?

I think a combination of UBI, abolishment of copyright and a busking model with 100% of the proceeds going directly to artists would improve things no end. We have the technology to do this and have no need for leeches like Spotify.

There is a great difference in consuming art because you want to and consuming art because it was forced on to your senses.
