I didn't say musicians (and I did mean creatives in general) shouldn't get paid.
However, I'm not sure an entitlement should exist whereby the act of me acquiring or listening to a recording of a performance--for/on my own devices, in my own home, etc.--results in an obligation for me to pay the artists.
If your business model ultimately depends on controlling what people do in their homes or personal space, or personal devices, then it's bad.
Would you buy a book if you had to pay each time you read it?
