Got mad **** to do that I should be doing right now but I'm irresponsible, so I'll probably only be able to respond fully tomorrow. But I understand your points and don't disagree 100%. I just think your view of the internet's influence on music is skewed to the black and white, rather than the grey area. There are good and bad things to everything (f.ex. the Holocaust was obviously bad, but it also marginalized anti-Semitism to an extent that wouldn't have happened nearly as soon otherwise, which probably also had an effect on the Civil Rights movements in America), and I think you should take a step back and be a bit more objective.
