Honestly, If they were to ship the VW Buzz for £30 - 40k, Id do it in a heartbeat. But it currently starts from £60k..

Currently, for me who owns an ICE car worth about 10k outright, I can't "Square" the value in buying an ev Not outright with interest payments etc.

Same reason why people watch top gear, despite having no chance of getting in a hypercar.

The production values are good, and are interesting.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judgment_proof

In the context of contract law, debt collection and civil litigation, the term judgment proof is commonly used to refer to defendants or potential defendants who are financially insolvent, or whose income and assets cannot be obtained in satisfaction of a judgment.[1]

Being "judgment proof" is not a defense to a lawsuit. If sued, the defendant cannot claim being "judgment proof" as an affirmative defense. The term "judgment proof" instead refers to the inability of the judgment holder to obtain satisfaction of the judgment.[1]

If a plaintiff were to secure a legal judgment against an insolvent defendant, the defendant's lack of funds would make the satisfaction of that judgment difficult, if not impossible, to secure.[2]

>> It seems like most casual listeners just don't understand this

I very much understand it. I just don't care.

There will always be some form of music. I pay my money for it. If they can't get by on some agreement from the record industries, I really don't care.

how long until they start pulling their catalogs?

> Not my concern, I will just rollback to having an offline downloaded library if Spotify / All you can eat music stops being "Easy"

>Will you stop listening to music if/when the unprofitable music streaming services shut down?

No, I will just stop paying for it.

>What happens if/when Alphabet, Amazon, and Apple are barred from tying and bundling their services?

Yarrrrrr

>will simply revert to pay per song/album and legal battles instead of wasting resources on listeners who aren't willing to pay a meaningful amount for music.

Then they get nothing from me..

I think it all rolls back to - > Would they rather have 1 million listens at 0.5P or 1 million listens at 0p.

Been using it since I was back at Uni, 2012, and have paid for both myself and another account recently.

>Why would artists give anything to you?

Literally not my concern.
