Or have these same constraints actually helped drive the artists? much of the great art of almost any medium is produced under structure rules. some of the finest novelists struggle until they let the confines of stucture and flow influence and inspire the work. And do some artists who would otherwise burn out stay fresh due to the renewed inspiration of a new producer or technique?
there are a million different flavours there beyond mere product placement in songs......
That's beautiful man, hang on a second, ....I think I got something in my eye, sniff, sniff. might have something to do with having the enright house - remember the stillnes playing in the background though.
much better without the bold and italics of this mornings effort. well done!!! A plus plus.

Are many artists compromising their art by participating in the production of the inevitably cheesy promo video?
absolutely. music videos have worn a bit thin really. there are still good slants on it but as an art form was a music video every really the music artists art. it was more often the film makers art with the bands music as sound track to it. no that there's anything wrong with that.
great way for film and video artists to cut their teeth or stretch their muscle, but a situation where people make videos cos its an easy way to promote can only lead to a watering down of the artform,in an ideal world a video for a song should be made cos it creates something that compliments or enhances, or even stands alone.
its not like that of course, -

I don't demand "honesty" from music any more than I do from films
I do.

but haven't deals like this been done since even before the humble cassette tape, let alone the CD
and been frowned upon since it was first tried. its no cooler now than it ever was. I don't want an artist compromising their art for dollars, ever. I know it happens, but I don't want to listen to the results.

how much does it matter in the end if the artist was paid to mention it or not?
and that's the artist ethics question.
depends what you want from your music I guess. I want honest communication in pleasing ways, free from interference. I resent the invasion into my life by people who just want my money, hence installing ad blocker etc.
If I thought the ads were in general useful to me then I'm sure I'd willingly seek them out, but to me most of it just clutters and distracts.Googles stated aim of making advertising relevant to the viewer is probably a step in the right direction though. I don't mind being informed about what is relevant to me, but how often is an ad there to merely inform you, it wants a sale, now.

I am happy to buy a non-DRM CD with (say) a clothing sponsorship on the sleeve.
That's a tricky one sam.
would you be happy to have your fav artists slip product references into their songs to offset the cost of the disc.shakin' a baby now, twisties and shout
Here we are now
let sony entertain uscrippleware CD which mightn't even give me the sticker price's worth of enjoyment.
agreed, that whole cripple the cd drive thing was insane but sometimes a cd is just a cd.
But some times a cd is just a cd. if it wasn't copyable and did nothing but allow you to play the music that was on it then its doing its job.
When you buy it its not a license to supply all your friends and people you don't even know with the content, it's a license for you to play it. I agree it should be a license for you to play it on any of the players you choose, but apparently that's proving difficult to apply without losing complete control over the distribution of the product as has happened. -
no,no,no, its __the pirates.
did it take you long to put all those bolds and italics in that post samuel? :)
hopefully you were making fun of my shit typos,so m any things competing
and simons
The potential market was so much narrower twenty five years back.
you do realise the topic of that part of the post was a discussion of how the market has changed in its focus on music as a past time?
hope the creative writing classes get better for you mate :)

The potential market was some much narrower twenty five years back.
I think the market theoretically was much wider. There wasn't much else to be into except sport and music,
now there are so any things competing for an individuals attention and money. the internet and its miriad of time sucking applications, video games, movies, tv out the wazoo, cars to soup up, fake street gangs and crime, all vying for the idle ones attention. just to mention a few things.
