Ah yes. The "system" of buyers (music consumers, corporate boards) choosing to buy or not to buy things at the prices the sellers are willing to sell them at. What is your remedy for this?

There is no need for quote here. The entertainment industry works on heavy marketing and over promotion of a few champions at the expense of every other artists. That’s indeed a system. The market is both about what is bought and what is sold.

I personally feel perfectly fine with strongly curbing the free market with legislations. It’s not the be all end all nor is it working particularly well.

Mass media geared towards easy entertainment successfully erased decades of effort into educating the workers and creating structures to give them a voice. I personally view the entertainment industry as fully complicit in a general dumbing down of the population. Should we applaud the opium peddlers in the name of the free market?
