The industry is a menace to artists.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Artists shouldn't deal with business stuff; that's not what we're trained in, and most of us aren't good at it.
Artists are notoriously snooty and suspicious of anything coming from the business community.
A lot of artists are much more concerned about how their work is used and how it's disseminated. That, to artists, is as important as the money, for some people.
Artists change how we see the world - and that can have value in the way people do business.
Artists are very young, and say, Um, ok, to these industry dudes.
The industry needs to be run by artists, because we are the only people that care about art.
Artists are expected to fit into fraudulent categories.
I think the job of artists is to stir things up.
There's a bunch of people who sit around and make excuses for themselves and get upset with artists, but you already know what this is - it's an ego-driven business.
Yeah, the industry has always been both the enemy and the best friend of the artist. They need each other. That's the bottom line.
