I wanted to listen to one specific song. I searched for it on Metrolist, selected the top result and the app notified me that due to age restrictions in my country I would have to log in or sign up to listen to it. I mean, why can't the public library in my neighborhood stream music then? I have a library card in my wallet with my picture, name and address on it. Why do I have to pay for streaming services? Back in the day a copy of your book had to be available at the main national library. By analogy a copy of your media content should be available for viewing and borrowing. Sorry for the rant.
