No! I don't create for money, I create for the sake of creation! It is a sacred act to me! No sarcasm, no joke. I acquire money in order to create more effectively, I don't create in order to gather the most money of us all.

This attitude that we must all live like neat little economic machines is seriously depressing.

Well to be fair to your take on things, you probably create out of your own pocket and with passion. Soundcloud chose to be a business when they took millions in investor funding on board.

As is their right, and mine. If their way does not work out, then they are welcome to join me for a discussion on post-corporate philosophy. BYOB.

If you do have a platform for such discussion let me know, I would love to talk a bit more about the idea. It has been a burning concept in my mind.

Gah, now I wish I did. I've been meaning to start blogging for years. I had a lot of fun in a drink-n-chat site a while ago, but the environment isn't quite right for long conversations. An opportunity, I suppose...
