Fantastic article. Thank you. This bit “When protest gets popular, business moves in.” also seems relevant to the modern music industry per se - there seems to be less risk taking, having a punt on new bands/artists and giving them a leg up or testing the waters. Seems like they often wait until an artist is just about self-sufficient before stepping in and saying ‘we’ll take it from here’ so to speak.
Very changed from how it used to be in terms of when the offer is made, though the risk is probably about the same - costs are higher and competition is greater. But that doesn't make corporations any more lovable. There's always a whiff of high priced incompetence about them.
