Re:Those poor lil Country Music singers (Score 1)

In a culture without copyright, only the rich, or the government-sponsored, could be this culture's full-time creators. Poor artists such as Loretta Lynn would have to flip burgers long into their music careers -- and might even give up on music entirely.

For these reasons, imagining a world without copyright wouldn't just impoverish the musicians. It would also impoverish the museum, the culture and music itself.

Yah, who wants to listen to crap from government-sponsored hacks like Mozart and Haydn and Bach? It's amazing we even had the word "culture" before AOL/TimeWarner came along!
