[QUOTE="xechnao, post: 4683230, member: 58105"] I am not sure I understand your points. I told you about a state controlled -through institutions for example as in ancient Greece- plan. Artists would exist in the same way as they do today - individuals educated in their society. And they would get paid -as anyone that can get paid in the various states where he can work in the public/state sector. The problem brand owners see right now is that if they evolve towards a new model they would lose much of their relative status. The small little guys will become bigger(I guess you belong here) and they will become smaller -this regarding your relative positions right now. Why would this happen? Because technology flattens production difficulties and lowers the need of management. Look at POD for example. Of course marketing remains a problem and here is where a central institution could be really helpful. Conventions and dedicated festivities to promote the art and artists themselves - to help promote the art and artists themselves. Things alike to gen con or museums. You could be paid directly from the state -those you teach art in universities are paid by the state -if we are talking about a public university- . Competitions or popularity contests could be organized to grand bonuses to the winners too. And the 1st prize goes too...this is possible to do today with the technology we have. And I believe -unless you are somebody "recommended" you will make a better living out of it than struggling as a poet to get by in today's industry and market. These are just ideas that pop out of my mind. I bet professionals could research and find good solutions, more productive solutions -for the common good- that the ridiculous fallacies of the entertainment industry and market that we have today -regarding the common good that is and not the deep pockets of a bunch of guys.
