[Age of Reason]

For the past hundred or so years, the entertainment business has benefited from a kind of monopoly created by recording technology.

But what goes around, comes around.

And technology has come full-circle:

That technology is now working against the entertainment industry, is a just comeuppance for the entertainment industry--which has so far been unjustly benefiting from technology.

People should be allowed unfettered access and use of this improved--and empowering--technology.

Those who fear entertainment will be destroyed because of this, need not worry.

All that will come of this will be a democratization of entertainment.

And a rise in the quality of entertainment.

Holding to the rights to songs you wrote is not *a kind of monolopy*; it's called private property. Without which there would be little incentive to create. We don't need socialized music.
