This used to be pretty 'normal' in the past probably because any artist was doing the same thing... but I don't believe in it at all since ASCAP treads it's own customers as criminals. <BR/><BR/>Build upon the past, yeah that's it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20584644.post-1144945651738413612006-04-13T12:27:00.000-04:002006-04-13T12:27:00.000-04:00Hi ;)This is a great post indeed.Lawrence Lessig s...Hi ;)<BR/><BR/>This is a great post indeed.<BR/><BR/>Lawrence Lessig said before as follows in his speech.<BR/><BR/>Creativity and innovation always builds on the past.<BR/>The past always tries to control the creativity that builds upon it.<BR/>Free societies enable the future by limiting this power of the past.<BR/>Ours is less and less a free society. [<A HREF="http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/policy/2002/08/15/lessig.html" REL="nofollow">link</A>]<BR/><BR/>Change often tend to move toward stability in any system. Because it is often the case that the tendency is based on rational choice, it is very difficult for most of us to stop it. So I agree with him.<BR/><BR/>Well, anyway, even if society and culture will go in whichever directions (free or not), we might be able to expand how to make a living as artists at this time. We can want a change anytime.<BR/><BR/>My friend who is an illustrator sell his artworks. But I assert with confidence that all he can do is more than that. In fact, some artists designed ATM cards and <A HREF="http://www.jp.sonystyle.com/Walkman/Special/Next/360/gyoubu.html" REL="nofollow">Sony walkman</A> in Japan (Just for your information, Japan does NOT have hectic art markets). Perhaps, this must be just one example among many.<BR/><BR/>Moreover, drastic advance in technology created the opportunity to give voice for many artists. We might be able to do collaboration to occur over a network on a global scale.<BR/><BR/>I believe artists can play an important role in various spheres! I myself personally hope that 21st century will be art century for artists (It goes without saying that we should redefine the meaning of artists).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20584644.post-1144842927641436092006-04-12T07:55:00.000-04:002006-04-12T07:55:00.000-04:00B R A V O !i am posting this later today as a link...B R A V O !<BR/>i am posting this later today as a link to you. <BR/>this is Sooooooo good.<BR/>Thank you!<BR/>SusanSusan Schwakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03686285411876310172noreply@blogger.com
