techno is i suppose anti-commercial in a sense but people still have to make some money out of it.. where are all those studio gadjets supposed to come from let alone paying the rent and feeding urself..

i think the lack of money in techno is more damaging. Everyone is just twiddling about on pcs with pirated software.. nobody can afford to work in a different way which is sad.. and with regards to contracts and the business side, not many people bother with them at the mo not least because there is no money to get fu*ked out of anyways..

it could go either way. the fact that there is no money could mean the majority says "**** it", totally ignores the financial side and concerns themself purely with the music and subsidises it some other way or more and more people will try to emulate the sounds that do still sell ok.

at the end of the day for me im sure if i could make good money from it i would have a phat studio with all the daddy toys to experiment with and id be sitting here devoting all my time to it and thus getting better and better very quickly. that to me sounds healthy.
