Alan D, you say above
Quote | The value of a work of art doesn't really have anything much to do with the price you pay for it. |
and yet you said a few months back when discussing making MusicVR freely available:
Quote | I didn't see the issue so much about choice (though I see why you think I did - sorry), as about the fact that people often seem to regard something more highly if it's cost them something, than if it comes to them effortlessly. (The DVD that came free with a newspaper tends to be thrown away with the newspaper, but the one we bought is maybe more likely to find its way onto a shelf, even if we don't like it much.) I wouldn't want to carve it in stone as a principle, and there's no shortage of exceptions - but there is that human tendency, I think. |
Changed your tune a bit I'm please to see, or maybe this is one of your "exceptions"
Me, I love the idea that more people might enjoy Mikes music by such promotions and hopefully it will encourage further sales.
