The way musicians are compensated is highly unfair. A new bill in the US Congress could fix that – and it’s about time

    i mean, TBF, you could just rent studio time, so it’s not like it would’ve been a significant thing in the way of your goal.

      Studio time is not expensive today.

      It was cost prohibitive in the 69s, 70s, 80s, early 90s.

        i mean, how cost prohibitive though. Instruments cost money, people still produce music with instruments these days.

        Shit costs money. That’s just the name of the game.

          Paper costs money, pens cost money

          You’re thinking with yesterday’s figures.

              Try Google. Not going to entertain this with my time because it’s on a level of dumb that —

              Try Google homie.

                i mean i could. I’m not the one making the claim that it was prohibitive though.
