The Menace of Mechanical Music by John Philip Sousa
The leader of the resistance was this guy named John Philip Sousa. He wrote a piece called The Menace of Mechanical Music in Appleton's Magazine, I think 1906. And he said that if you put a photograph in a home, there will be no reason for anybody to perform live. Because again, why would they do that when there's a machine that can do it? They'll get lazier. They'll just outsource it. That was the argument,. a very smart and accomplished person making that case.
