    Now do Netflix, Prime, Paramount, HBO, Disney, Hulu and Apple and we’re golden.

    Would be a magical day the day copyright dies.

      When copyright dies so rich conglomerates can make money by monetizing out toys and collectibles and theme parks from smaller creators content without paying a dime back to them? Copyright is beneficial. Copyright is good. It needs reform, yes, but don’t mistake that with the concept being bad.

        You should NOT actively do something, for money. You should EXPECT it.
        Otherwise you’ll eventually try to maximize profits and get rid of everything that made whatever you did good in the first place.

          Abolishing copyright exclusive and only works if you abolish money with it. Otherwise you’re only benefiting the largest corporations, despite what you think, it won’t be the small guy winning

      Already done. It’s called Torrent Streaming and lets you stream-on-demand anything that exists as a torrent without having to torrent anything yourself.

      A client that can stream these Spotify torrents with an interface that works like Spotify (low bar, I know) will be awesome, but also including a database to match songs to artists so users can send money directly to the artists they listen to will make it revolutionary.
