We used to be able to see all sorts of videos on YouTube with official music and other stuff. I saw a woman get copyright claimed for playing Moonlight Sonata which belongs to the people. Streamers could also play music all they want and not get banned for it. But in the last years, everything has changed. How and why?
I do support and want the artists to either get credit or payment for their work, but the current state is kind of ridiculous.

Copyright issues and violations have always been there but technological development proceeded too quickly. 1995-2010 were the unregulated wild wild west years of the internet and legislative and executive influence over it has only been starting to actually catch up during the last decade. The result is the current best effort to properly regulate intellectual property use in an environment that puts no upfront cost on sharing and creating content with and for Millions.
