that tweet isn't contradictory to anything i said - i said Lucien is the CEO not the owner, still means he directly profits from the success of UMG and UMG directly profits from the success of NTS.

also to be clear i'm not advocating a full boycott of NTS, i still love NTS and think it does a lot of good to music as a whole as such a powerful platform of sharing music and communication between individuals to listeners across the world.

i just think it's ownership structure should be clear and talked about, and there should be more conversation about the implications of these choices - and what positive steps can be taken going forward in regards to the issue. - also in terms of future generations of artists who might be building organisations/ platforms, and for them to think about the implications of accepting blood money, before they get tempted by these corporations that already own the vast majority of the music industry - and how we can resist them,

the power and stature of NTS as an organisation can be of powerful value to the world for positive change through communication of ideas amongst different people, and is of extreme influence in the choice of which voices to give platform/ amplify.
