Quote it! “Songs don’t exist in three dimensions”

I think the physical presence of scratchable vinyl or unspoolable tapes, or the extremely kitten-vulnerable compact disc, is what gave us — particularly Metallica — the idea that sounds are something you can hold in your hand. I think that’s why kids don’t get intellectual property fighting, because songs don’t exist in three dimensions again, which means the argument takes place across a line that’s impossible to explain, and results in the parties talking about two different things entirely. As ever, I side with the kids.
