@nick yeah and in this case "the middlemen" is even other (super commercial) artists, so it is even weirder than we are used to.i have some hope of the new generation learning about this stuff before they have gotten to tired to do something else and simply learn about files, maybe get a music player as a "symbol of coolness" or mobile os isn't just a duopoly in the future etc.if you have to stream the road to bad is easy to end up in. if you can deal with files, you are free.
