Beardyman Chats To ilikemusic....again!
Beardyman: Yeah exactly. Looking at freedom of distribution, it has had so many different effects. The fact that people are into more kinds of music. They can make more intelligent descisions about what they want to listen to. It broadens their music tastes. This is all bad news for the established music industry because it has been built on the fact that distribution of music has been restricted to whatever works on a mass market scale. Music is a mass market product. A terrifying prospect and one that we have had to live through for the last seventy years. But that is changing. Now the music at the other end of the bell curve, which is more niche, can be heard by more people, so it is more viral as a product. I think it can only be a good thing.
I think that as a way to monetise the music industry for producers, donations aren't such a stupid way of doing it. People want to pay for music that they've heard when they know that the people who make it need money to survive. That is why when you walk past a busker and they've brightened your day, you may just give them some money, rather than someone who just sits there holding out their hand. I don't have the answers, but I do suspect that peoples good nature would lead them towards this busking thing. I don't know if that's a solution. I just think it's one of the several options that can be monetised. But then again you know, it's like any intellectual property law that is based on something ineffable. It is very hard to police. You could say that it is counter-intuitive trying to police the distribution of something that doesn't take any physical exursion to actually do, of any kind. Why should you necessarily have to pay for that? It doesn't make any sense. But it is the good nature of people anyway that ensures it. But then it's being enforced by law and donation of music is supposed to be fun....who knows man?

It gives me an opportunity to truly express myself, unlike what happens in an everyday living situation where there are restrictions on you and limitations on you and demands on you and bills to pay, through music I can truly be comfortable with who I am, and do what I really want to do and say what I really want to say.
