It's music being neutered, isn't it?


I dunno, no probably. If association neuters an artwork then we need to stop making art as we have less control over association than we've ever had before. Could have been worse, could have been an advert for Coke/Pepsi or Tescos. Until we reach a utopia where artists are rewarded directly for their cultural contribution (by some egalitarian benevolent broadminded committee of course;)) without the need to deal with a competition based economic model, we need to get over this and not let it fuck us all over like it did in the late 80s. What is interesting, and may be positive, is it's forcing artists to make value based political judgements. As in, can we take money from 'X' corporation, or will that piss our fans off too much ?
