That's the thing, it isn't "his." Nothing a worker creates under capitalism belongs to them. His music is a product, and that product belongs to the corporation that owns the rights. The customer doesn't own it, either. They're just paying for the right to attend a concert for one night. Want to see pictures of the show? That's an additional fee.
This seems to be capitalism's final form: you will own nothing and be happy. You won't own your own car, you'll pay a monthly fee for autonomous driving "ride share" services. You won't own your own home, you'll pay a landlord for the privilege of living in their property. You certainly won't own your own music, movies, video games, books or TV shows. Hell, maybe soon you won't even own your own dishes or clothes or home furnishings. Water and food probably aren't too far off, either. Soon they'll own all the farm land and all the water infrastructure.
Putting your anti-capitalist rant aside for a moment, Paul McCartney does own the rights to his own music. He is in an entirely different negotiating position from some hopeful new artist being offered a record deal.
While I agree with you (and also hate reddit now) we don't know if the rights ownership was the reason for removal, or some moderator being edgy, or dropbox link triggering spam filters.
Mods cannot ban accounts from reddit, only from subreddits. The action taken against the account wqas from the admins.
Oops, I missed that whole account banned from reddit part. Thanks.
Ah, that definitely explains. :). Cheers!
This has been a thing for poor folks for a long time now. once they successfully wipe out the pesky middle class it will be a reality for everyone.
Regarding clothes, the low quality fast fashion makes clothes essentially disposable, so consumers don't really own clothes anymore also.
It's actually communism where the person doesn't own anything.
That's what they told you, nonetheless, here we are.
Your brain is literally inside out of you think this.
So these private, for-profit corporations, that make tens of billions of dollars every year and are trying to buy up every industry, business and property, are communist? That's what you're going with?
One of the major aspects of communism is centralization. As companies inflate, they take more and more control of the market. And if they have ties with countries with such regimes, which seems to be the case nowadays even if they're distancing themselves now, these regimes can leverage the companies' grip on the market to sabotage it and even the culture, so that what remains are the communistic ideals.
And if such process involves making a profit, to such project it is just a means to an end, as then by the end, money will have lost all its value.
Ok, let me see if I'm following you correctly. I assume when you say "countries with such regimes," you're talking about China. So, China has somehow leveraged the grip these large corporations have on their respective markets to sabotage their culture to make them more communistic? Even if that were true, how did these companies inflate to take more and more control of the market in the first place? Is China behind that too?
Soviet Union started planting the seeds of a take-over project, but when it feel, as there's no vacuum in power, mainly China took over, with strong indication of politicians and beureaucrats from other countries being co-opted by them. Then China started taking away the production capacity from other countries and where it couldn't, it would either buy a given country's means of production, put people they could control in key positions, or use other sabotage strategies.
Technology companies likely fell in either or both of the latter two strategies, as they would show to have deals and aligned strategies with the CCP government. And with people aligned inside, or with the company devalued but still with a perception of relevance, it's easier to take over them.
That's an extensive and elaborate conspiracy. What do you think should be done about it?
One could inform and be informed, boycott those that cause problems, support one's local businesses and initiatives, and to always evaluate both to whom something benefits, and what may be the intention behind the intention of a given movement.
