as a full-fledged anarchist i am still gonna have to disagree with you and say that as far as techno goes, not too many fuggas are making a shit ton of cash, or play music accessible enough to be corporate sell-outs.

most techno producers i know, even the ones who are fairly well-known, are not making a ton of money. and last time i checked, sony and volkswagen weren't beating down our favorite techno producers' doors, so i am fairly unconcerned that my techno brothers and sisters are selling out.

i may be a dirty, unapologetic anarchist who thinks that capitalism is evil dirty business, but i still gotta eat, and so does everyone i know...
