So the diminishing money artists make off records sales will be diminished even more so that government approved bands can make a few euro a week?
So charging 10% more means taking money away from artists?

The Arts council budget is €56M for 2014.
Thank you. Someone gets it.A lot of which gets spent on complete and total shite
I don't think anyone here has referred to music as a viable "career" but to use the example someone else made of music being a cottage industry. Cottage industries make money. No one is making ice cream in their kitchen and then giving it away for free at the farmers market.

There you go again,
You've assumed a government employee would be responsible.
And what would make it a random action?
I imagine there could be combined ways of doing it, continually. That's not random.
Why is it a minority of musicians?
From my perspective it's actually a majority thAt are being shafted.
So yes, assuming the worst possible outcome.
it just seems to me that you've taken a very conservative stance by just shunning all logic or suggestion of it. Because 'it's stupid'.
Heavens forbid a system could provide a platform enabling musicians to be more successful abroad and potentially bring back Money to spend in this country. This allowing the process to eventually contribute towards itself. Or you know, ANYTHING better
Someone being paid by the government would obviously be responsible. A government employee. Random as music quality can't be definitively judged by some sort of measurable criteria. Unless you're suggesting that popular bands get government money, no matter their "artistic value"...?
It's a minority, because the majority of musicians aren't demanding the government give them 20€ every other month... a few are, out of the thousands in Ireland.
As for the notion that this pittance of money will do all these magical things like allowing musicians to be more successful abroad well... again I say, where's that money coming from? Taxes? Stripping other artists of money?
you probably think brick walls should be funded out of the taxpayer's battered, bleeding pocket too, you feckless trotskyiteThis is like talking to a brick wall. I'm done wasting my time. Good luck to yiz
gumption does not equal wonga.if a band can't exist exist without gumption, then a band shouln't exist
If you think for a minute that labels will simply eat the new cost so that artists don't have to suffer a little, you don't know most big labels. They'll simply pass on the cost to the artists... and still the biggest releases will be sold along the x.99 price scheme... any new costs to fund joe soap's original band down at the local pub, that's attached to selling music, will fall on the shoulders of the artists.
