@jadeharleyinc@hltler_dlsliker I love how they try to explain their logic by just reiterating their “art made by humans is real art” as if that clears things up

@lucyrocks95 was probably a side effect of the initial major label rush to exploit the vinyl subculture in the early 2010s with 180g repressings of Rumours. As it turns out when you center the musical item purchase around the item itself people become more interested in the item and not music
@Discourse_Stu According to Wikipedia Paul Simon paid the African musicians $200 an hour and gave songwriting credits to a good number of them so the only standout is Los Lobos who thought Paul stole songwriting credits. Make of that what you will
