How would you have maintained your memory of that song and culture 500 years ago? What stops you from doing the same thing now?

Any problem you describe is the result of individual choices, not technology or IP law.

If anything, IP law maintains the integrity and cultural significance of creation by not allowing rampant capitalist exploitation…

  You are out of your mind if you think that it is not enabling rampant capitalist exploitation. It has literally given a handful of companies complete power over all of it.
  
  Sounds like your problem is with artists selling their IP to corporations… And frankly with yourself for not creating more, or engaging in communal practice.
  
  Stop blaming some big bad for your own lack of social engagement.

    Oligarchy has nothing to do with you choosing not to share in song with your neighbors. You’re making shitty excuses for your laziness.
