"artists need to make money to eat and to continue to make
art.
"artists used to rely on middlemen to collect
their money on their behalf, thereby rendering themselves innocent
of cash-handling in the public eye.
"artists will now
be coming straight to you (yes YOU, you who want their music, their
films, their books) for their paychecks.
"please
elcome them. please help them. please do not make them feel badly
about asking you directly for money.
"dead serious:
this is the way shit is going to work from now on and it will work
best if we all embrace it and don't fight it."
