Notice you don't ever see headlines like "2003: The Year the Art Dealer
Dies." You don't hear people saying, "Yeah, now that we have digital
photography and the Internet, I'm not paying one penny to those filthy
corporate galleries. After all, a canvas and paint only costs $3.50...."
Why all the rage against record labels? Is it just because people want
things for free?
I don't know about you, but I like living in a society where artists can
sometimes make a living just making art. I'll chip in a measly $12 for a
CD, if it means I'm giving an artist time to be prolific. And I don't mind
that some of that money goes to hiring a good sound engineer, or to
funding the labels, distributors, and dealers of the music I like.
