The rights of nature: a rebuttal

Last year Brian Eno initiated a plan to treat Nature as a revenue partner on streaming music services such as Spotify and Apple Music [Savage 2024]. This grants Nature the same rights as, say, Taylor Swift and Kendrick Lamar. At that time I drafted a reply on social media. Here I expand the text in the context of the Slovenia 2025 meeting of the Central European Network for Sonic Ecologies (CENSE). Much more could yet be written from this brief outline, should time and health allow.
