It's happening, it's happening, it's happening (it being, mastodon getting the best advertising it ever had)

@pianotpot Nope, he made a video about the people who did though, and did a nice deep-dive on the copyright nuances about it.

The brilliant Adam Neely says that music copyright doesn't protect artists, but instead is used by big corporations as a method of rent seeking, I totally agree: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAFUdIZnI5o
