Artists are already starving without society having a “copying isn’t stealing” mentality.
If labels didn’t take huge chunks of their income… with very little return on their part. Guess what…
This actually isn’t a problem with the consumers, it’s a problem with the “production” side of this equation.
or a busker
A busker doesn’t hold my files I create via video recording on my phone of the “event” hostage… under threat of lawsuit/men with guns beating down my door and taking all my electronics.
you’re not paying them for a physical thing that they hand you, you’re paying them for the effort they went to craft an experience for you.
No I’m not. I’m paying to own the disc/content. I couldn’t give a damn what “experience” they think they’re creating. But it’s in their best interest that the “experience” is worthwhile so I purchase the next one.

That is my point, yes.

It is both. Contrary to the simpliatic worldview of Lemmy/reddit circle jerks, more than one problem can exist.

Again, I don’t think DRM is ethical. I also don’t think being able to afford to compensate someone, and not compensating them is ethical.

You can go buy blank disks for a fraction of the price of ones with content on them.
You will never own their content, they own the copyright, you do not. Even when you purchase a physical blu-ray disk, you would not be allowed to open a theater and start showing it to people. That is because: You. Do. Not. Own. Their. Content. Ever. You’re only paying for the experience of witnessing it. Just like going to see a play 200+ years ago, just like going to a movie theater today. You’re allowed to be confused about that, but it doesn’t change reality.
it’s in their best interest that the “experience” is worthwhile so I purchase the next one.
So you literally do “give a damn” about the experience. Which is it?
