The growing popularity of the “Bowie” bond — a security backed by royalties — may sound strange, but it’s nothing new. In treating songs like annuities, capitalists prove once again that nothing is too sacred, or silly, to be commodified.

Thanks to Linux, LibreOffice, Inkscape, Blender, Ardour and Ableton I've been able to avoid any of these so far. I certainly hope to keep doing so. Actually, with some will to adapt to new software and slightly different workflows it still seems possible. Kicking WaveLab and Waves seemed hard at first but I can't say I am missing them now.

Does Ableton work well on Linux in your experience? What's the best recipe? I haven't tried it yet, but awesome if it works!

I'm not running it on Linux, usually. Live is pretty much the only thing I am running from the Windows partition of my laptop. I did, however, run it on my PC on a Virtualboxed Windows and -IIRC- also under wine64. The virtualized variant ran like on bare iron. Absolutely no problem, not even with hardware synths via MIDI. I think the wine install also worked fine - at least I can't remember having any problems with Ableton on a Linux PC. The one thing that will cause problems with wine are VST(i)s. You'd have to install each one with wine and hope they'll coexist with the shared environment.
