It's a lottery system, basically. A few lucky rock stars cash out. Everyone else doesn't win. And lotteries are also a good way to convince the population to pay more taxes, with the promise that anyone can win, where in reality few people do.
- aston 13y agoI think most people would call the rock stars cashing out "talented." Why not treat entertainment creativity the same way you would code? (Especially since both fall under the same copyright law?)
- Amadou 13y agoI think most people would call the rock stars cashing out "talented." That is only a meaningful statement if you also believe the corollary - the people who aren't cashing out are not talented. And if you believe that then you are in for a really tough life.
