A monkey selfie. With receipts.

Kind of surprised Wikipedia was involved, but then I suppose not much has changed since I quit editing.

BLOG POST: #Metallica vs. Napster: The Day Rock Ate Itself

https://stevengharms.com/posts/2026-04-14-metallica-vs-napster-the-day-rock-ate-itself/

...

“Napster versus Metallica” was more than a lawsuit. It felt like a moment where skinny thrashers in jean jackets became the homeowners association of Marin County, parodies of themselves. And in the midst of it, the technological generation — my tribe — laughed and snickered: the old men just didn’t get it. “Information wants to be free.” As someone who was still smarting at being abused by the record industry it felt like justice for us.

But there was a cost...

Great art is work and takes time. Artists deserve to buy homes, and food, and braces, and go on vacation. And that childish entitlement to “free shit online” led to the current internet ad model. It enabled the walled gardens of MySpace, Facebook, and Twitter; ultimately helped bring about the death of journalism; and built the communications organ that enabled grievance-filled echo chambers to elect Donald #Trump — twice.

I was pretty flatout with WikiCon Australia 2026 Canberra but here's what happened this week:

An Australian musician is raising awareness about the opacity of the international music royalty system and news organisations blocking archiving by the Wayback Machine threaten the historical record.

WTF now?! #30 – Thursday 9–Wednesday 15 April 2026

Concerns have been raised about the international music royalty collecting system, news organisations blocking archiving by the Wayback Machine, the impact of the proposed Paramount–Warner Bros. merger and facial recognition in Meta’s smartglasses.
