Ever inclining revenue is not a fundamental right. Whether radio was a profit center or not is beside the point, but whatever, maybe touring and merch can be the new one, or not. I for one don't feel obliged to come up with a way for them to sustain the wealth of a bygone era.

Increasing revenue is not a fundamental right, but deciding whether your music will be on Spotify or not certainly is.
