I would guess, not much. As Nader joked, "... however I _do_ think that Gore lost _me_ the election." The true techno artists might get a little more money if it were not for the likes of these "electronica" artists. But, if it were not for them, would there be a all new techno catagory brought to us by ford focus? And who _would_ be standing up there? Not that I'm really sure I would miss it (it being the best in techno award). Awards are BS anyways, IMO.
