    Gotta admit physical media are an environmental catastrophe though, aren’t they? I mean, between mas producing tons of CD and just having people share files on there devices’ memory, seems to me like the latter makes much more sens environmentally.

    Or are they very easy to recycle? Idk to be honest.

    Also I kinda like the model RMS proposed to make music free for instance, with artists being remunerated according to their popularity on peer2peer download platforms for instance, the more popularity, the more gov grants basically.

      Anything that is mass produced and ends up in landfill is an environmental catastrophe. I just miss owning stuff. If I could afford them and chose not to buy them, I probably would feel different. Super low priority though.

      E-waste is a huge threat to us nowadays. But I believe smart electronic devices are a bigger problem than CDs.
