You're totally right. It's not their "fault." But it doesn't excuse the fact that they make their decisions on money. That's what we're arguing here. Not whether they make money, but _how_ they make money. Pay attention.
-Beau --------------- If businesses are not to make decisions based on money, how should they make decisions? Businesses that don't make decisions based on money FAIL. Corporations do nice little "feel good" projects all the time, but they do it beacuse the good PR will make them money in the end. As I stated, as long as businesses are making money in an ethical way, nobody has a right to tell them how to conduct business. There's nothing unethical about pushing trance because it makes money and ignoring techno because it doesn't make money. It would be unethical for a business to make decisions with no regard for money because it puts their employees at risk. People act as if there's a corporate conspiracy to hold Detroit/african americans/techno down. Its simply not true. People who feel this way need to wake up and realize that most people just don't really care to hear techno. More than a few Detroiters have made a fairly nice living out of techno. I'm not going to cry for them because they're not multimillion dollar techno stars. Being good at what you do, in music or otherwise, has never guaranteed that sort of sucess. If you want the businesses to change, you have to change the consumer first. Businesses react to demand. It is completely assinine to expect businesses to make major decisions without considering the financial aspect of their decisions. How would you feel is someone told you to plan your life with no regard to money? ===== Krhn! - [Detroit Intelectronic Listowner ] [aim : krhn3][Visual ID - http://facelink.com/Krhn ] [Intelligent Electronic Music Discussion: ] [http://www.egroups.com/subscribe/intelectronic ] __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
