@Azure You have a good argument.

I run a risk here, in saying that it's the same risk explored in the prog rock piece 2112, where all art and creative expression has been catalogued, categorized, analyzed, and generally subjected to right brain dissection, and free artistry is meaningless in the face of a collection of pre-recorded great works.

I'm paraphrasing a bit here, but I used to be one of the "Hurr-durr Communism Bad" people.

We're already in this hellscape however. Just the Capitalist hellscape described more in Lloyd Biggle Jr.s "Tunesmith" where music has been so slaved to corporate interests that Live Music is an unheard of concept, if it isn't the content of an Ad.

In our Society, Now, we can educate One Another, and avoid both these dystopias. All we need to do, is make sure we keep talking.
