Take girltalk for example. During the week, he is a biochemist. his coworkers don't even know who he is. on weekends he puts on the proverbial cape and goes on tour making spliced-up pop music into dance tracks. he clearly isn't doing it for the money, otherwise he would quit his job. he is just doing something original and it is working. artists who are in it just for the money only seem to impress 14 year olds anyway.

Why would I try selling them? I do make music but I give it away free. I'm of a new generation who has gone back to making it because we love it, not as a way of sustaining ourselves. We sustain ourselves by selling out to big corporations and doing commerical work.

This sounds nice in theory, but I suppose that you are not speaking from experience. I suggest that you should try selling some CD's or online downloads.

You need to look at something like the Radiohead album In Rainbows. The band originally released it on their website with a price tag decided by the consumer; it could be anything from 1p to £1000. The vast majority of people, however, paid around £7, a fair price for an album. tickingclocks48 is right, as people will still buy the work even if it's freely available, and the artist should also be constantly reminded that they're not supposed to be in it for the money.

by the way if anyone has seen the cover of this guy's book.. i think it is so appropriate and well done. boy , girls remixing and making something that never existed before... very good use of colours and it is so appropriate.

Good progressive thinkingin a very general sense.

you're all wrong - just a heads up

If the product is worth buying then why wouldn't people want to buy it? Even if it is being "given away for free". Tons of the music I listen to is remixed on youtube. Does that mean I won't go out and buy the c.d.? Besides, remixers aren't doing it to make a profit, they're doing it to be creative. Like the artist should be doing. And as an artist, you should see a remix as free publicity. People that might not listen to your genre of music will want to check the original track out.

How are artists supposed to make any money if everything they do is given away for free by these "remixers"? This would only hurt the artists as a whole and make them even poorer than they are today. Please consider this from an artist's perspective.
