You know, part of me is offended by the commercials, but part of me is beginning to wonder. We don't want our favorite musicians to:
(1) Claim any copyright on their music,
(2) Sell their music for profit to marketers
(3) Sign to major labels to get larger promotion
(4) Play big venues where you can't get next to the band
So, in all, we don't want our favorite musicians to be able to make a living playing music. Does this seem fair to any of them? Should we hold them to such standards? What if someone called you a sellout for working at an internet design firm or for an insurance company just to make ends meet? I'm beginning to think that we're slowly becoming musicians worst enemies by this idealized view.
