most of the music most of us heard in the 50s and 60s and 70s was free. It was on radio. If you really liked it you bought it. MP3s are like cheap art prints. you look for a while, then throw away. If you want something good you pay for it.

Perhaps live performance is the only way to make a lot of money in the future. Such a shame.
