If the musician is bankrupt it's certainly more understandable. After Willie Nelson got hit with a $30m tax bill he had to bend over and sell anything he could.

Like I said in the article, Cope's offers must've been tempting because, whilst not bankrupt, he had no grounds for being certain he couldmake a living from his music.

I do go in hardest against people - like Eno, like the two Doors who want to sell - who don't need the money at all, yet still do it.

I don't question their right to sell their music at all, and I can't see where you would be able to infer that from.

What I do criticise is the integrity of those who sell their work for adverts who made art for good reasons. I think it's a pretty clear distinction.
