To put it this way...

In these times of digital growth, music is a very tangible and sexy commodity, as a result lots of money changes hands every day... The problem is that more and more of this money isn't retraceable to the artists by lack of good governing or policy management and so the artist don't see the benifits of their work.
Lots of voices are currently pushing for a sort of secondary stream of compensation payments to remunerate the loss..
It is the belief of Younison that this will cut off the natural market value , and will eventually end up with people paying indirectly for the use of music, that will be collected by huge and powerful societies, who have no way in knowing who to retribute and thus will be free to do as they wish.
This will leave the fresh and young artists without a penny and will cut off the oxygen needed for cultural diversity .
In these digital times we cannot foster the illusion that was put into practise about a century ago , believing that by eliminating the market , and relying on general collection and blind retribution everyone would prosper and there would be a paradise for all - commonly referred to as the communist ideal.
There is a way to organise this new world, but we need to want it and we need to unite and tell everyone we want it...
We all know how the previous collective experiment ended?
