I'd probably straight up fail because I'd write something about how I, myself, am a recording and gigging musician; have multiple albums out, releaased under a CC BY-NC-SA license, we have given copies out gratís and told people to just make copies for others; and how we are all pro piracy.

The funny thing is that there is no money in the music industry for most bands. Especially underground stuff like NYHC.

The reality is that the only ones that potentially don't make as much money are the upper echelon who are already making millions. Even that out so the touring bands get their dues, and we can talk about how every dollar helps them go from struggling to actually living off their craft without having to work full time. 🌵
