      These were the dicks who sold the only copy of an album for $2m to a pharma bro. It’s a bit tone deaf.

        It’s a lot more interesting than that.

        It’s a commentary on the financial aspect of art, and how traditional art can’t be shared with everyone for free, but music can.

        There’s an 88 year clock before the owner can sell copies, and they’re not supposed to give out duplicates. But since the date of purchase the owner, and only the owner, can release it publicly for free.

        Either it’s for everyone for free, or one person for an exorbitant amount of money that’s clearly not worth the price.

        It’s some deep shit, not everyone is going to get it.
