He gave access to his catalog for free. He did not give copyright.

Can't think of anyone in show business who's been so based, for so damned long. Keep on rockin' in the free world, man.
I'll never forget how Amazon's leadership was intertwined with Donald Trump. Fuck Amazon.
Yeah and they killed shopping malls. Never buy anything from there, might as well sail the high seas.
Before Amazon were malls, before that, the big stores came along like shopko, Walmart, etc. which still persist. But of you go back far enough you get "Department" stores, mainly in the big cities 100 years ago.
As an aside, the stock market has also always been fucked. All the way back to the beginning like Jay Gould and the rail company corruption.
The system has always been against us.
I'm getting Jay Gould and Jay Gruber confused.
Which one has the bigass chin?
I don't know what either of them look like, but if I remember correctly, Jay Gruber is the CEO of Blue Sky.
Sorry I was just making a Jay Leno joke
Anyway Amazon didn't kill shopping malls. Online stores in general killed shopping malls. All of the businesses that we usually in the malls started selling directly online, so they shut themselves down.
Then it got confusing because then Amazon introduced the affiliate program and then you could buy things from all the retailers through Amazon. But the malls were dead by then anyway.
Keep on rocking in Greenland
Edit: help, I’ve had this song stuck in my head with the fake lyric for an hour
There are lots of good Americans, unfortunately though there are even more stupid/evil ones.
Accurate, but Neil Young is Canadian.
Also/or the stupid evil ones are -at the moment- far more motivated to fuck things up than the decent ones are to try to fix things.
No American would do this. Young is Canadian.
Being a decent person means you are unwilling to do things you know are going to hurt others, even if they’re assholes. You’ll avoid conflict.
The problem is that assholes have no such restrictions, so they’re just fine with fucking other people over.
And then you have the people that drive past the car crash who just don’t want to deal with it.
So you can have relatively few assholes who can do a lot of damage. I wouldn’t say there are more stupid/evil ones, there are just a large majority unwilling to engage in the actual conflict needed to stop them.
I disagree, when a majority of more than two thirds of Americans either voted for or failed to vote against Trump, they decided they were OK with a sociopathic president that might destroy democracy for USA.
Opinion polls show that Trump still has about 33% support! Taking away healthcare from people, threatening USA's nearest and strongest allies, supporting Putin's war against Ukraine, damaging the economy badly, abandoning hundreds of international agreements, the atrocities of ICE and threatening democracy in USA, being obviously corrupt using DOJ to go after people who have opposed him. And this list isn't even half complete of the shit he is doing, and STILL about 33% support him!
I guarantee that it's easy to find another 18% that still support some of the above shit, and that absolutely means they are evil.
Claiming this is not a problem for a majority of the American people is delusional. You are refusing to acknowledge how bad it is.
Does he have a cover of "Greenland Whale Fisheries"?
Put it on Bandcamp.
That’s up to Greenland, now
I thought this meant that he was giving the rights of his music to Greenland, but it turns out he's just letting Greenland residents join his music service free

I’m honored to give a free year’s access to neilyoungarchives.com to all of our friends in Greenland. I hope my Music and Music Films will ease some of the unwarranted stress and threats you are experiencing from our unpopular and hopefully temporary government. It is my sincere wish for you to be able to enjoy all of my music in your beautiful Greenland home, in its highest quality. This is an offer of Peace and Love. All the music I have made during the last 62 years is yours to hear. You can renew for free as long as you are in Greenland. We do hope other organizations will follow in the spirit of our example.
LOVE EARTH
Neil
I love Neil young, i want to go to one of his concerts but I’ve heard it’s a bit rough. It’s a venue filled with leftists and Neil young ranting about left issues. A bit of preaching to the choir and everyone is like “we agree, can we please get to the music?”
I love Neil Young except for all the stuff that practically defines him.
Translated that from Redcap to English for you.
What does he rant about?
I saw him in Hamilton with Crazy Horse years and years ago he's always been like that. He also went on forever with his guitar solos. Like a really really long time of really really loud noise. Then he'd finish and rant for a bit and do another encore. I didn't have the best time.
He gave them access to his collection for a year.
Why did he have to make the situation in the Amazon rainforest worse in order to do a nice thing for Greenland?
When I first read the headline, I thought it meant he really “gave them” the music like they would own it get the royalties from it going forward. But I think what he gave is like access to his music library to play it for free for like a year.
