Which raises an important point: fame != money
People lust after fame in lieu of money, which explains another poster's
comment about artists developing a following, and then making it "big" and
making less money than they did when they were just peddling their music by
themselves. Fame (or noteriety?) is a sexy beast... Even (or especially!)
if you're a "real artist" - having an impact on a greater number of people
could be more important than collectin' tha doe.
re mi fa...
Anyways, doesn't this discussion belong on /.? Speaking of which, here's an
(slightly relevant) article I saw there a few months ago:
http://www.eff.org/IP/P2P/Napster/20010227_P2P_Copyright_White_Paper.html
It talks about fair use and whatnot - maybe, if yer actually interested in
this issue, searching for "real" information (with footnotes and references)
would suit you better than trolling for suspiscious factoids provided by
biased music fans! ;)
Love and kibbles,
