Uprooting vgm from its heritage and the beginnings - free online availability - and commercializing it has more or less ruined all quality in the past five years.

Can someone explain this argument to me? Asking for compensation for your work means you're the one to blame for an overall decrease in quality? It takes an incredible amount of gall to say, "Look, if we didn't have to
pay for all of this music, none of this would have happened."
I am sympathetic to perceived problems such as the intentional simplification of music for mass consumption. But, the line between these problems and
not giving away your work for free is not a straight one. It's insulting to lay all the blame on the artists as if it were a clear case of "selling out" in every instance.
It seems particularly irrelevant with respect to Video Games Live, the point of which is to rearrange and glorify music that has already been created.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
