It's an interesting one for sure. I wonder how it would apply to Hip Hop, for instance. Rapper has deal (money/product/whatever) with a brand and endorses them through song. We don't really have liner notes anymore, but it's clearly paid promotion. I appreciate this isn't a 'post', but the article talks about sitcoms. And if you take music as 'art', there's probably a case where you could argue your instagram/video/whatever was 'art'.

- donatj 10y agoFor a real example: Me not working hard? Yeah, right! Picture that with a Kodak Or, better yet, go to Times Square Take a picture of me with a Kodak From Pitbull "Give me Everything"
- tehwebguy 10y agoThat rhyme was unforgivable even without the possible endorsement. See other possible endorsements here: http://genius.com/rapstats?q=Michael%20Kors%2C%20Gucci%2C%20Coach%2C%20Prada%2C%20Fendi http://genius.com/rapstats?q=Michael%20Kors%2C%20Gucci%2C%20... Not sure where to draw the line for Gucci though since a rapper is called Gucci Mane and it means something else to say "I'm Gucci"
- cmdrfred 10y agoHas to be an ad, why wouldn't you go with something like this artistically? Me not working hard? Yeah, right! Picture that with a Kodak Or, better yet, go to Times Square Take a picture of me with some Cognac
- CPLX 10y agoBecause if you're Pitbull your entire existence on the planet is diametrically opposed to the creation of anything with genuine artistic merit?
