It is _not_ self-evident that a high profit-motive produces better art in the same way it produces better widgets/business methods/etc. In fact, looking around at the output of today's highly-paid artists, an argument could be made for the opposite. In many cases, once an artist "hits it big", the quality (subjective, I know) of their art drops off hard. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
