Amen to all thats been said - its for that reason that I'm only ever planning to put out anything I produce - and I'm a long way from ever producing at a high enough quality to do this yet - for free over the net rather than actually selling them and earning my income from a day job.

To me music is an art form and should be made for its own artistic merit and to please the maker rather than as a product as commercialisation of art inherantly influences and changes the final product - there again I am a crusty at heart and a firm believer in keeping music as free as possible so as to be open to all and an inclusive force within society.
