so if you make a table you can sell it
but if you make an album you should give it away for free?

No, you can try and sell it
but don't start moaning when people decide to NOT buy it because technology has moved on to such a degree that they can get a duplicate for free.
Nobody forced you to spend X thousand pounds hiring out a recording studio plus engineer plus mastering. Diddums.

if you want to call yourself an artist, yes
if you do it just for money, then its just a job.
If you get paid, good for you.

you seem to have misunderstood the role
money has in art...
artists like van gogh were Career painters...they wanted to sell their work for money.
the whole doing it for art thing... is mainly a product of the minds that arn't connected to industry.
michaelangelo was a sculpter and painter FOR HIRE
as was Da vinci....

What an excellent point you've just made!
You've named arguable three of the most highly respected artistes of all time, yet ALL of them, as you rightly point out, had day jobs to pay the bills and supplement their love for art. Let alone the fact that Van Gogh died a pauper.

that none of those GREAT ARTISTS
were doing it for the art... they where all paid... and paid fairly well by todays standards...
it was in response to a comment which said if i create something and sell it...its a job... and that i can only be an artist if i give it away for free...
its all in the thread dude... seriously.
EDIT: here it is lazy:
me: but i should be doing this for the love right?
NOG: if you want to call yourself an artist, yes
if you do it just for money, then its just a job.
