The idea of "selling out" (3 Viewers)

[therealjohnny]

you've only "sold out" when you stop making your own music/art and start doing what the record companies financiers tell you to do in order to be profitable?

What happens if you're in a band and one guy, say the man on lead guitar, says to you "I don't like that bass sound". And you do like that bass sound and you continue playing it. And the man on lead guitar says "its sounds shit. Nobody will like it", because the man on lead guitar wants this song to sell well.

Are you, technically, selling out if you then play the bass according to the way he wants it?

Not sure you need the question mark there...but what about maintaining your own 'creative control' but accepting cash so your music can be used to sell washing powder or used in an episode of The O.C. 90210 during a scene where Kyle or Josh find a lump on their bollox-is this 'selling out' to The Man?

What would you do if I offered you reputation points, or a virgin, to change what you've just said.
