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.

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.
