Live Nation and TicketMaster are leeches who profit over having artists beg for scraps to play their venues, and they own most of them.

These recordings clearly show why they must be broken up and dismantled.

Spotify are a pack of hypocrites. They started 'their' catalogue by downloading music from The Pirate Bay. What fucking gall to treat musicians and songwriters as slaves and then attack Anna's Archive.

How to quit Spotify: a guide from Brian Merchant.

He's gone with Qobuz, a platform that I'm also running with. I'd love to try Coda, as they claim to give artists the most money; I've listed my favourite music-streaming platforms on a page: https://garden.pivic.com/music/music-streaming-platforms - please let me know if I've missed a good platform that treats musicians like human beings.

While places like Spotify and Tidal are overrun by AI slop, Qobuz feels *clean*.

Software companies must be held liable for British economic security, say MPs

A lack of liability for software vendors is putting Britain’s economic and national security at risk, an influential committee of lawmakers warned on Monday.

Bad: Being at the mercy of immigration officials every time you need a contract extension.

Worse: Extending visas for a family of three costing two months of family income.

Even worse: The insane level of detail required by the visa application, including the dates of every international trip you have made in the last ten years.

The absolute worst: Completely nonsensical or conflicting options in the visa application forms that you are sure exist to give people an excuse to reject the application.
