These oft-overzealous algorithms are particularly fine-tuned for the job of sniffing out the sonic idiosyncrasies of pop music, having been trained on massive troves of “reference” audio files submitted by record companies and performing rights societies. But classical musicians are discovering en masse that the perceptivity of automated copyright systems falls critically short when it comes to classical music, which presents unique challenges both in terms of content and context.

Myspace and the other failed networks are tiny compared to the behemoths of today.

Would Twitch work? I don't use it myself.
Or maybe Zoom could get into live performances?
