It’s wild looking back at file share with hindsight. In the 80s and 90s, record labels poured champagne off of looted artist royalties.

When #Napster hit, those same labels shed crocodile tears. They promised that artist would get their fair due if only we could kill file sharing.

Now that everything is locked behind DRM, artists are getting screwed more now than ever, and distributors are yanking our purchased digital assets from our libraries at will.

Anyone who shills for corporations in the name of regular folks, immediately gets the side eye from me. Because that story only has one ending and they know it.
