I wonder if there is a link between DCMA crackdowns and the decline of the music industry. Posit: with consumers watching more community produced content and that content prohibited from including traditionsl music sources that consumers may then seek out, then a result might be a decline in the traditional music sources. This might also apply to commercially produced content that doesn’t include music for fear of false flagging.

I follow the RSS feed of a metal piracy site. Not to download anything there, but to get updates on interesting albums I might want to buy. It used to be, that I got that information on twitch via song requests from people, but that’s not allowed.
