copyright laws were a mistake

good, now I don’t have to hear their shitty music

Boomers don't understand that the dynamics of the music industry have changed. Bands that gatekeep and block their material are just limiting their exposure to younger audiences and will eventually make themselves irrelevant no matter how popular they once were.

The Beatles are more popular than ever, cope.

I highly doubt Paul and Ringo are short of the cash.

source?

Same with Jimi Hendrix. There was a biographical movie that came out which had NONE of his music because they couldn't secure a copyright.

Fucking insane. The music industry is a cartel

Have you tried buying a used Beatles vinyl record in good condition?

and the film itself definitely wasn't trying to cash in on the artist's popularity in the same way, right?

Yeah you easily could? Are you retarded?

It's funny seeing them freak out about people playing their music while streaming. No one watches a stream to listen to your music. The worst that will happen is the person ignores it and the best is you get a new fan. They really shot themselves in the foot. I'm guessing sales probably went down when they started doing that and they are probably sitting around wondering why.

It was an arthouse movie that had limited release in film festivals, so no you nigger it wasn't.

The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worthy of being saved. In a sense, the Beatles are emblematic of the status of rock criticism as a whole: too much attention paid to commercial phenomena (be it grunge or U2) and too little to the merits of real musicians. If somebody composes the most divine music but no major label picks him up and sells him around the world, a lot of rock critics will ignore him. If a major label picks up a musician who is as stereotyped as can be but launches her or him worldwide, your average critic will waste rivers of ink on her or him. This is the sad status of rock criticism: rock critics are basically publicists working for major labels, distributors and record stores. They simply highlight what product the music business wants to make money from.

Hopefully, one not-too-distant day, there will be a clear demarcation between a great musician like Tim Buckley, who never sold much, and commercial products like the Beatles.

?????

How am I coping? I walk around walmart and see beatles vinyls in the nigger cheap section.

Are you retarded or something?

Mad men had to pay 250,000 to play one of their songs

Boomer banks and their lawyers are retarded. Iron maiden forced a shooter game to change is name because apparently "Ion Maiden" is too close to their name.

Based Allen Klein screwed these hicks and Rolling Stones over worse than Rasputin the Russian royals.
