Has anyone on thumped ever got into a band via an advertisement?
If yes, did you feel bad about it?
Right. What about when gang of four are unable to tour? Should they be poor? I find the idea that a band that writes about consumerism should be disallowed from making money off their music, however they see fit, simply so that you can be, "convinced".
They're prolly sick of touring and sick of trying to, "keep it real".
"Real" isn't some trendy idea of morality, to lots of folks, it's bills and providing some income to their families. If whoever own the music wants to see the music, I believe, as do almost all commericial artists, like Gang of Four, that it's theirs to sell.
If ANYTHING more people will be exposed to Go4 and their lyrics because of this, and that's gotta be a good thing.
So call me cynical, I'll label you a fantacist. But, until we stop living in a capatalist society, anchored with consumerism, even people concerned about the inherent inequalities created by competition have to pay their bills.
It's their excess capital and they can monitize it however they see fit, IMO.
as for the abstract idea of whether it's justifiable to hand over your legacy to flog consumer electronics, it's tawdry and sad. that's all.
