I am not worried about MQA, or technological progress being altered or anyone losing anything in terms of music quality. I did worry or at least wonder around the years after 2000 how record companies and recording artists would continue to make money when Napster, Gnutella, Freenet, Kazaa, Limewire and other free music sharing music online companies were allowing artists music to be shared and CD sales, along with other music sales (such as albums) were declining year by year. Now I am seeing album sales going up, streaming companies and download companies along with recording and major recording companies and labels making money again, and most importantly musical artists are making money. Tidal is one of the most generous companies as artists make about $0.0003 per play. That was info from 2017. Amazing, Napster had top payouts at $0.0167 to $0.0190 and Tidal was 2nd. I guess after Napster was sued from the major record labels and users could not steal music any longer, some balance was brought make into music making by artists and music enjoyment by consumers.
After all, we all survived the low quality MP3 and IPod scare that was supposed to kill all quality music. It did not.
