i really don't think the motivation behind people's music is really anyone else's concern. WHy is music the only profession where you can't be in it for the money ? If someone is good at something , and can make a decent living doing it , you would be stupid not to go through with it.

You think all those guys making jingles really put as much creativity as they can ? It is called a job.

What you are asking musicians to do is basically take a huge risk , even bigger risk than actually just being in the music industry , and make music for yourself only. This is'nt for everyone and to expect every one to abide by your said rules is pretty juvenile.

Music is a business and until people start paying musicians for just being artistic , musicians are going to find work any way they can.

PS : I am willing to bet than anyone that thinks doing a project for money is agaisnt everything music stands forprobably does'nt rely on music for money and has the luxury of not being dependent on getting a check.
