How to you feel about corporate art? Art made for the sole reason to make money, or propaganda? I happen to think it runs along the thin line of fascism. I support a free market system that is also fair.
Good: A corporation or government sponsors a band to create a song, and gives them creative control over it. Or a corporation or government pays to use a bands existing song, without changing it.
Bad: A corporation or government creates a band with the sole purpose of making money, and maintain most of the control over the art created by the "band".
Artists that perform under the bad system are not free, and neither is their art. Art like this sets a dangerous precedent for a country. If enough people allow themselves to be spoon fed corporate or governmental propaganda art, they can become easy to control. This is how fascism is bred.
See the puppets below. Don't they just look so cute and innocent?
They aren't. Think of some of the greats bands in Rock and Roll.
The Company that owns the cute little band below would love to see that band destroyed and forgotten.
