my point is that no one writes chipmusic for a living outside of what, two groups of people? no one that visits a chipmusic forum is going to be writing chipmusic *for a living* in 2013.
and you can't refuse money that was never really in your hands anyway, what you're talking about is some fantastic hypothetical situation. and from this angle, yes there is a moral issue that pisses me off.
i hate how capitalism has everyone thinking they're so clever and just look to exploit whatever they can for profit. chipmusic in the most common and practical sense is monetarily worthless. but that obviously doesn't mean it has no worth. most people just enjoy making music with neat sounds, enjoying the nostalgia trip/whatever and sharing the experience with friends and other people they meet online. this is not a pipedream btw, this is the reality of what happens every day with hundreds of submissions from people across various sites.
and to take that and convince yourself that there's money to be made isn't just some morally unsound notion, but it just goes to show what a creep you are.
not calling you a creep, not calling you a faggot; i'm speaking on a general ground here
Other than your misguided view of capitalism I agree with you. My initial post in this thread was in similar vein everything after was just entertaining the hypothetical notion of making money.
if you don't get it then clearly you've never written music for a living.
What?
