i'm just curious about this thing & i figure, this list needs some action so what the hell. :) do you have any ethics in what music you buy, what artists you support? (that is, independently of whether you like the music or not) i.e. what do you do with an artist you know has an ego the size of texas & pretends to have invented techno ~ or one who has a huge attitude problem & cannot stand a single criticism regarding what they do? would you keep buying their albums? would your interest in them remain the same? another concern: if an artist made music for a commercial, where would you draw the line? (i know that although i'm not against music used for advertising per se, i personally wouldn't buy or support anything from someone sountracking g*p or n*ke commercials, for example ~ if only as a means of protest regarding their third world employment 'policies', but, like all of ethics, that's essentially a personal decision ~ albeit one that does have social repercussions. ) btw ~ in this message, i mean ethics in the personal sense: a personal choice based on rational thinking, a democratic thing. i do not mean a dogma. so, what are your ethics? :) -- david
