This for all the people checking the music out before downloading it for free.
I’d just like to point out the consequences for both of us.
For me it seriously reduces the likelihood of my making more records because like you I have to spend most of my time trying to earn a living. If my music doesn’t help with that then I have to spend my time doing something else to survive.
In addition if the general public consensus is that what I do has absolutely no value then I can’t see any point in making it public-I might as well keep it to myself.
For you the consequences are that there will gradually be less and less music around that’s worth listening to because fewer and fewer people are going put much of their time and effort into making music. The result will be a diet of entirely vacuous instantly disposable pop music -and there’s enough of that already.
