Very interesting to read your collective thoughts on this topic.
I have just published an Open Letter to help raise awareness of the extreme devaluation that’s currently happening in the music licensing space and to vocally challenge the model in question. you can read it here: https://medium.com/@lewis.r.foster/are-you-killing-the-value-of-your-own-music-c860f99d0913
I hope you find it an interesting read. Feel free to repost / reuse the letter as you please. The more discussion/awareness we can raise on this topic, the better.
