I personally disagree with the direction the criticism is taking here.
There is nothing worse than an artist who feels compelled by the public to satisfy the least common denominator. Real art is from the heart and mind of the artist, and his world, harnessing his inner human condition, his specific talents, and so on.
I went that route because Aztec specifically was mentioning the artist's desire to sell in his OP. While I certainly appreciate your point, from a historic point of few art for arts sake is a concept that is very very new. If you look at the classical "masters", be it in the visual arts or in music, almost everything they did was commissional work.

No, you didn't find it, you made it.
Why should one trust you, if you're lying even about something so simple?

BFL has obvious problems, but I fail to see how insisting on a ship will help anyone.
I don't. I always wanted a ship. I'm on a boat, I'm on a boat Everybody look at me cause I'm sailing on a boat.

ATM withdrawal limits in German banks are commonly 1000 EUR or 2000 EUR a day ( This is rather new. I remember when the withdrawal limit at my bank was 400 Mark. Yes, Mark.

You maybe missed your vocation as an art critic Good god no. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) I think professional art criticism is a perversion of art itself. People applying rules telling other people why a work is to be deemed good or bad and what they are expected to infer from the work? Totally missing the point of art in my view.

Are you an artist yourself? You certainly have managed to tap into his art really quickly
Nah, my artistic talents are... well, they suck. But I like to engage with the works of others. I like the way art is able to trap emotion and can "replay" it for one willing to look at it with open eyes.

Yeah because after all the lawsuits from the media companies torrenters are super willing to start being tracked and completely deanonimized
iTunes seems to be doing well.

From an economic POV it certainly would make sense.
The thing about people buying art is they generally don't want to buy art that evokes negative feelings. With your friends work you can see there's a lot of emotion going into his work that on the other side provokes in a viewer feelings of being stuck in a rut, of being in eternal limbo. I don't know about you but I wouldn't want that on my wall.
Now of course going all loveydovey and happy would absolutely not work with him. But his material of choice "wood" can easily carry connotations of new life, of rebirth. I think the piece "Earth Mother" is very strong in that regard and thus stands out from his other work.

That's some pretty fantastic work from a technical aspect, though it seems he could benefit from branching out a bit. Most of his work right now seems to be grounded in the Liverpoolian pub/workers quarter milieu and the human condition of those living there specifically. The works elicit feelings of dashed hopes and stagnation. I don't know how old he is but it looks he might benefit from doing some hiking around other places not so... British.

what i dont get is that if you paid to download the file, why should you then share it after its downloaded ? which i know totally side steps the question as to whether bitcoin would be good as a payment method ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) You could have for instance varied pricing based on ratio. Let's assume again Marvel Studios goes with that model and you bought Iron Man 3 and shared that a bunch of times you might get a rebate when Avengers 2 comes out. On the other hand you might decide to get Iron Man 3 and stopped sharing right after you got the movie and thus sunk your ratio into horribleness, then you might have to pay a bit extra for Avengers 2.

Nah, wait, might be wrong. There's two very similar named streets. Checking into the new one. I'm seeing an elevator service company so far.
Anyways he's going to get bitten. He's running an unlicensed commercial exchange in Germany when BaFin made it very clear a short while ago they are going to bite people for that.

lol at the referral link, sounds legit
I like their adress. It's a hospital. Maybe they allow their mental patients on the internet? Wrong street

How is this different than DRM? Seems like they just put a new name on DRM.
It IS DRM. Also Bitcoin would be about the worst possible payment option for this. Imagine Marvel Studios releasing Iron Man 3 via this method. Have a package with the trailer, the movie, and extras. The trailer is open for free, you can send an amount of BTC to access the movie, the extras or both. Sounds great? It is. Until someone copies the package's exterior, fills it with the 3 hour version of Nyan Cat entitled Iron Man 3 and floods the net with his version. Congrats. You just bought a three hour version of Nyan Cat. In a currency without charge-backs.
