Who is more responsable for what is produced in musical terms? Listener. The listener influences the market in that the quantity of what he/she buys determines the amount and nature of what is being sold, therefore shaping the music market and the cultural landscape that we experience in the media and everyday life. Do you think that the musician should really have a moral duty in all this, yes or do you think that you just to have to accept it and suffer the consequences? No. I mean, your 50/1000 copy releases are fine and dandy, but they hardly really make an impact because the fail to reach a wider audience that could double or treble their real potentialimpact. Is this a good thing or a bad thing, you think? Good, stuff released in those quantities is usually rubbish.
