2600533, I never liked that people thought they could "own" music

in the first place.

Like, the folder on your computer that says "My Music?" It's not your music! Someone else made it for you, and you merely have the privilege of listening to it. Maybe this change in the way we consume music will get rid of this 20th century delusion once and for all. It could even potentially change the way we look at copyright, while at the same time cutting down on "piracy." Actually, I'm sure this is already happening.

The only question is, can musicians make money this way?
