The performance model only works for some artists. It does not work
for:
-Artists who write music that can't be performed live.
-Artists with health problems which preclude touring.
-Artists with family obligations that preclude being away all the
time.
-Artists who would rather be recording than living out of a
suitcase.
-Etc.
The fact is writing and recording music is itself worthy of support.
Who are we to tell legitimate, creative artists to go get another
job, to become nomads?
You may as well offer this model:
a) Artist gives away the results of hard work.
b) Artist works at McDonalds so everyone else can exploit his art
for free.
Sure storage as ones and zeros make it easy to steal someone else's
work. But just because we can do something doesn't mean we should.
Thoughts?
