Artists shouldn’t love corporate copyright
Every once in a while I bump into ‘artists’ (and I use that term loosely, quite often they are corporate shills, indie chancers or pretty new to the industry) who defend copyright laws, extensions and corporates.

\\\ Otherwise known as RC 199: ђ†♀ğπ▲Ģ☻ğ↕⊆ ░ 2 ► History Screws You Up. Just say NO! to bad 80’s drug ads, and terrible 90’s philosophy. More hypnagogic heresy from the haunted house, this time focusing on hauntology and the more ambient side. Also brought to you by the words ‘monoplanist’, ‘asemia’ and ‘aneuch’. This…
