That's the question, isn't it: Copyright became mainstream in the era of books, printed sheet music, and other publishable symbolic encoding of information. Performances were not protectable.

Why do you think a recorded performance of a work should be protectable under copyright? It's NOT an original work of the intellect. It's a performance of what is often someone else's work. Just because it is recorded, should it be protected? Does the technological innovation of recording make it protect-able? And, if so, shouldn't the technological innovation of infinite copies at zero marginal cost make performances un-protectable?

Really glad to see this! The 'Show HN' posts were one of the main reasons I started Hacker Newsletter (http://hackernewsletter.com) four years ago and from the very first issue it has been one of the most popular sections.
That's one reason stores like issuing their own credit cards - they have the detailed in-store data and summary external data (assuming you use the card elsewhere):

The exploration into cardholders’ minds hit a breakthrough in 2002, when J. P.
Martin, a math-loving executive at Canadian Tire, decided to analyze almost
every piece of information his company had collected from credit-card
transactions the previous year. Canadian Tire’s stores sold electronics,
sporting equipment, kitchen supplies and automotive goods and issued a credit
card that could be used almost anywhere. Martin could often see precisely what
cardholders were purchasing, and he discovered that the brands we buy are the
windows into our souls — or at least into our willingness to make good on our
debts. His data indicated, for instance, that people who bought cheap, generic
automotive oil were much more likely to miss a credit-card payment than someone
who got the expensive, name-brand stuff. People who bought carbon-monoxide
monitors for their homes or those little felt pads that stop chair legs from
scratching the floor almost never missed payments. Anyone who purchased a
chrome-skull car accessory or a “Mega Thruster Exhaust System” was pretty likely
to miss paying his bill eventually.

Martin’s measurements were so precise that he could tell you the “riskiest”
drinking establishment in Canada — Sharx Pool Bar in Montreal, where 47 percent
of the patrons who used their Canadian Tire card missed four payments over 12
months. He could also tell you the “safest” products — premium birdseed and a
device called a “snow roof rake” that homeowners use to remove high-up
snowdrifts so they don’t fall on pedestrians.

This is already the reality, and always has been.

Recorded performances enable 0.0001% of professional and "semi-pro" musicians to earn a living from recorded performances. For everyone else, life is as it was before recorded performances: You perform live, and you may have a day job, maybe teaching music, maybe something unrelated to music.

If the money from recorded performances goes away, the impact on music as an artform will be nil.

I wanted to revisit this quickly - I think what struck me was the difference between entrepreneurship and invention. I genuinely struggle to see how to create a million new jobs. Jobs are either shifted (demand for product A drops so Factory A shuts and everyone then goes to work at factory B)

This seems to be something where the total jobs globally is static (perhaps total demand is) except for natural growth probably population related

And is distinct from an invention - say fusion power - that actually increases the value available to humans

Oliver Holmes already has one of the worst reputations, nothing any of us write can compare with the man's own words regarding his reputation. Here's part of his decision in upholding the the forced sterilization of Carrie Buck

"It is better for all the world, if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime, or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind. The principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting the Fallopian tubes. [...] Three generations of imbeciles are enough."

Of course this has nothing to do with the NSA/GCHQ/CSEC collecting IP numbers of users of privacy software. Only a police state casts a wide net and then spies on it's own citizens to determine their innocence presuming they are already guilty by seeking out this software in the first place. It's the exact guilty by association kind of nonsense every police state throughout history has done.

>People don't really want to own music. People want to listen to what they want, when they want.

Actually music fans used to want to own their music -- and took pride in their collections.

The current decline is a combination of two things:

1) for the younger generations music (pop/rock/whatever) is not as important as it was up until the eighties and slightly into the nineties.

Pop/Rock music thrived in an era when it was a major escape into a fantasy world. Nowadays there are 100 other diversions, from video games, to YouTube, to 9gag, to anime, 200 tv series, etc etc.

2) the remaining (but not that culturally important anymore) music fans, can listen to anything they want in several different ways, none of which involves paying for the music ("radio" streaming, youtube, torrents, etc).

(Btw, "concerts" and "merchandise" is not the answer for musicians. Band merchanidise is a non-musical gimmick for teenagers and immature 20-somethings, and concerts were traditionally a loss-leader for album sales, except for bigger bands. Plus concert attendance is even on the decline on the younger demographics).

>If a company can provide that service, for a fee, that company will succeed.

Bah,, it will just be a company with razor-thin margins in a declining market. They might make some profit, but they wont "succeed" the way music industry of the past had, especially when it starts charging a fee. With ads they might do better, but still not that great.

Thanks for the "Show HN" landing page. It helps.

One thing I've noticed is your title on HN mentions "mugs" but there's
no mention of them on either the landing page or your main site?

When you do add mugs, make sure to state whether they're microwave safe
and if possible, where they're made. I once bought a half dozen mugs to
support one of my favorite open source projects, only to begrudgingly
throw them away due to microwave problems (i.e. the cup itself would
heat up). After getting burned, quite literally, I always check to make
sure mugs being sold are stated as microwave safe.
Content aside, I think it's really cool how the map area expands with the window and the mini-map's red rectangle accurately represents your view in the browser window. Very neat.

Yes indeed. I happen to only know about the surgery because the first American to go to space in the Mercury program, Alan Shepard, was diagnosed with Ménière's in 1964, after his historic first flight, and was grounded. He opted for what was then very experimental surgery. For him it was successful and he went on to command Apollo 14, the 3rd moon landing.

There's this bizarro idea you get from a lot of people that torrents are not any threat to artists, because those people dowloading from torrents wouldn't have bought the record anyway. Not to mention it brings them "new fans" who discovered the record on the torrent.

In real life, of my 30+ friends, few and very rarely bother to buy anything from the artists the like anymore, they just torrent it. And they almost never see them in concert either -- since most rarely visit my country.

So a band that used to sell 100.000 and 300.000 records here (say U2), now sells around 10.000-20.000 or so (on a lucky day).

> > People don't really want to own music. People want to listen to what they want, when they want.

It used to be that owning your own music was the only way to listen to what you want, when you want, since if you didn't own it, you couldn't play it on demand.

Now, those two things are separate, and the demand for ownership has dropped. That may be a change in desire for ownership or other priority changes of the type you suggest, but the simpler explanation is that the ownership wasn't desired as an end in itself, it was desired as a means to the end of listening to what you want, when you want, and when the available means to acheive that changed, the desire for ownership of music was reduced because there were now alternative means to the ends.

I think part of it is also portability. In the 80's, 90's and even into the early 00's it didn't matter whether you were listening to the music at home or on the move, you still needed your tape or CD, even into the 00's you carried around a limited MP3 collection. You were limited by the physical media that carried the albums.
