| Hippy Crap Hippy crap comes from the idea that all music should be free - what was fought over at Woodstock and culminated at the Isle of Wight Festival (see the film). Hippies wanted the concert to be free but roadies, promoters, trucking companies and equipment rental facilities needed to be paid as well as the artists.
It is the same as being argued now. To make a recording, producers, engineers, mastering facilities, recording studios, promoters, art designers, etc. need to be paid. The artists themselves put hours of work in for free. The record labels front all this money.
The tech world needs to stop being so arrogant and grow up. I challenge everyone here to do their jobs for free from now on instead of forcing musicians to be on the cusp on the great anarchic revolution. |
