    The document discusses how music streaming platforms are negatively impacting the music industry in three main ways: 1. The money aspect - Streaming has lowered music prices and changed how artists make money, making it harder for artists to profit from their work. 2. It devalues art - Streaming views music as a purely economic product rather than an art form, killing its permanence and accessibility. 3. It promotes capitalism - Large platforms flood the market, making it difficult for smaller artists to succeed and creating class divisions between artists. Physical music is becoming irrelevant.
