Please note that I am not asking you to deal with this in any
particular way.  I am not sure what is best to do.  I brought this up
because at present it is, in a sense, a contradiction in the text.
People who notice it will feel that you have overlooked it.

There is more than one way to resolve this.  I hope you will resolve
it somehow, so that readers won't feel you have overlooked something.

    On the other hand let's imagine that there's an artist called David 
    Bowie, who understands how the internet works. He's savvy enough 
    about the content industry to have set up his own publishing company, 
    so he owns the rights to his own songs. He lets us download his work 
    and share it freely with his blessing,

Does David Bowie in fact do this?
