100% capitalism is part of the blame, why isnt there a public option for music? Promoting local artists that are in the public domain and can tour and make a living in public venues.
Instead we have ticket master and other such big music. Companies, now this is applied to music but really can be applied to every sector.
Elect local politicians who can make change for the people on the local level.
EMI refused to promote the cassingle due to lyrics (“Off the radio I get constant flow/Hit it, pause it, record and play/Turn it, rewind and rub it away”) that promoted home taping[7] during an era when music piracy was a hot-button issue.[8]
We cannot even play music from a device without needing some sort of patent license, usually paid by the hardware vendor.
Not an issue when you pirate 🤔

They didn’t say copyright, they said patent.
Yes you can. I often ignore copyright with impunity. I’ve been doing it since the days of home-taping.

I think AAC is the only major music codec that’s still patent encumbered though
