i wouldnt have a problem if Clapton was going after the bootleggers but this is pretty pathetic IMO

Don't know much about NFT's and blockchain technology, except I thought that being never being able to interfere with something digitally would be a good thing?? Don't really understand it yet so should probably educate myself before having an opinion! Brian Eno's take - https://www.loudersound.com/news/brian-eno-weighs-in-on-nft-craze-now-artists-can-become-capitalist-aholes-as-well?fbclid=IwAR0UJVF6u3OrqADyb_hAdNhiO_d88nOq2_WFcbN9wLJZQ5x8V9J3U18TD-Q
RE: I read the news today, oh boy! - JeromeD - 25-12-2021
Ruby you have just given me a brilliant idea. I dabble in crypto currencies quite a bit. Have been for quite a while now. But you have just married two of my interests together! Don't know if it will be a success or not but here goes...
BTW I like a lot of Eno's music but it's a bit rich for him to be complaining about capitalism. When he created the opening notes for Microsoft Windows he was getting paid a substantial fee for it. And it's about time that the likes of Spotify, Napster and I-tunes get a kick in the balls. They have been getting all the revenue and the creators are getting virtually nothing. It will be interesting to see how this all pans out.
An article about the whole saga - https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-crypto-music-and-how-is-it-revolutionizing-the-music-industry
And in any case when Eno was selling all those CD's did he think it was philanthropic? And when his music was being used as film soundtracks you can rest assured he was getting paid big time!
