Hello Jonathan,
Capitalism definitely supports
them. However, if you're dealing with less well-known, less
generally-liked stuff, then capitalism isnt't really going to support
it.
Amazon.com enters, stage right.
There's a subgroup of the theater crowd around here who regard
producers as "sellouts" if their plays actually attract an audience.
I hear that this sort of thing tends to happen with Indie artists as
well. There are fans who like them until they get popular. I guess
that there are people who _like_ it when the stuff that they like is
niche.
And there are people who will buy $5 a cup coffee when they really do like
the $.50 stuff better. They are called snobs.
