Believe me, once you get married, the gambling, cards, drinking are all going to go away.
This kind of statements never cease to amaze me. Why in the world did you enter a marriage where things you like are taken away from you?
The good argument is that if you can't amortize the cost of making the work in the first place over a large number of sales, you go back to the old patronage model of yestercentury, where a lot of things only get made if one very rich patron chooses to fund them, and then that patron is the only person who gets to choose who can enjoy them.
How is this different from the current situation where a limited number of corporations are funding a select few artists, then effectively building a marketing haystack around said artists, tranforming all other outlets into the proverbial needle?
