The end of physical media is neigh


Very sad news for me personally.  Honestly this struck me as hard or harder than hearing about the death of a beloved artist.   With the advent of machine learning and AI controlling our music listening we are becoming a world without any control at all over our music or movie culture.

Could the world's first trillionaire (or lower) just buy up all the rights to music and hold them, preventing streaming from continuing as it is? Doubt it would happen, but it might be theoretically possible. 

A total absence of physical media is concerning to me.
