A Community to talk about Music from the Australian perspective.
Telling stories of Australia through music.
With few exceptions, Australian acts are permitted to have one hit in the US charts, then fall out of the international limelight.
Those acts however often have lots of other cool songs!
There are also several Australian acts that just aren't famous globally.

I mean, if you ignore the negative effects the IP system already has on creativity then yeah, sure, this is a reasonable conclusion. 75+ years of IP ownership, potentially locking up a comparatively short burst of an individual's creativity for several generations is just creates a rentier's economy in anything copyright related. By this mechanism this system harms creativity. Our current IP system supports the development of 'rights holder' investment companies.
Its the same garbage that we have with housing, the systems both support and promote investor rentiers over the genuine users and producers that constantly drive to make housing and music genuinely unique.
