Do you know what would happen in a world where there are 1000 Mozart's? Nobody would give a shit about Mozart anymore. That's it. Most of them would probably starve to death anyway if the world now has to support one trillion people

Would we even know if that were the current situation? How many extremely talented composers are making music right now?

But now bezos can exploit Mozart, because "there's a thousand Mozart's ready to take your place".

Truly how can you not see the benefits.
