"They do NOT need to create more demand...they get PLENTY of buisness as it is..."
I'm reminded of Chris Rock when he was talking about the EXACT same topic. He said he's never met a crack dealer walking around his apartment saying, "Now HOW am I gonna get rid of all this crack!?!?"
My post asked the same question. My point was - Metallica promised, during the hype of the video One, that they would not let this video lead to a lot of crappy butt-rock videos.
The very next album, Metallica (referred to as the "Black" album) contained mostly catchy songs ready to be piped into standard video format on MTV - and pipe they did.
I am allowed to "test-drive" automobiles, televisions, recliners, refrigerators, stereos, clothing, and sometimes even food and jobs, before accepting these items.
I feel that your artistic integrity is in question. I test most other forms of intellectual property (30-day software demos, browsing books and magazines before purchase, etc.) Should your songs be exempt? Why do you hold this opinion?
