    Yeah, so, 50 years later, when you can barely remember the lyrics, you drift from said culture unless you can you know, listen and refresh your memory. That is my entire point. Intellectual property rights paywall culture…

    If your “culture” and ability to remember your youth is contingent upon songs being available on streaming services that’s not a problem you can blame on publishers.

    Without publishers, who do you imagine would be distributing this music in 50 years when the bands in question are broken up, destitute, or dead? What’s the oldest independently published music you have access to right now?

        So there’s no pendulum then, what you want exists!

        I guess you can stop complaining now. Glad I could help you put two and two together.
