> I know content creators. There is a large group that hate their content being copied.
And yet, most content creators I know recognize that the "old ways" are dying, and community involvement and other value adds are the way of the future.
Look at youtube (pre ad-pocolypse), twitch, and patreon. DRM isn't where the money is at with content-creation. Spotify, apple-music, et. al. don't pay their artists nearly enough. The future of content is in direct distribution - not billionaire funded recording companies.
I thought most pushback against easier access to content was from publishers / curators / distributers. They are being made obsolete by digital distribution and are using 'but the poor artists' as an smoke-screen to delay their obsolescence.
