But you're starting to see famous artists now pulling out of Spotify because they don't pay their artists enough.

And people like Tidal are coming along and Qobuz, and you end up with this fragmented ecosystem.

And the same thing's happening with video.

Arguably, it's already happened with video because of just how lucrative a streaming service can be.

I remember the original promise of Netflix was that it would just be one subscription and you'd get all the movies and all the TV that you can eat.

And then that kind of fell by the wayside as the studios realized how much they were... They're making all of our money.

Yeah, exactly.

So video, as you well know, is expensive to produce, let alone blockbuster scale graphics effects and entire industry's worth of...

crews and, and, you know, sound people and costume and set design and everything that goes into making a good, a good movie.

You've got to recoup somehow.

Well, my five-year-old does because most times she leaves with some new thing.

I am okay with that.

I can do a home without spending money.

You will own nothing and you will like it.

Isn't that Cory Doctorow's certification culmination?

You mean you don't want to buy the remastered remix deluxe super edition box set on 33 RPM vinyl?

You know, I'm tempted.

Reissue.

I think piracy will have its moment.

Oh, they're sneaky.
