Artists vs the world

[exsanguinatrix]

I've always held that certain fields --law and business to be precise-- remain absolutely ignorant and unsympathetic to other fields like the arts.

Take this example. Gary Granada vs GMA kapuso network.

The worst part is that legally, he probably doesn't have a chance in hell to win this case. Artists have no fighting chance against big profit

Not yet reading the link comment: Isn't that too "binary thinking"? Art isn't exactly pure. "Art culture" isn't exactly free of twisting words, worming through the hole of a needle and so on.

Well. Yes. That's true. BUT my parents are lawyers and I can think this way if I want. :P

Hehe. Yeah, the arts aren't pure, there's plenty of back-handed politics, etc. But all the same, law creates nothing. And business is all about money. Compared to that, the arts are pristine.

Haha! My mother's dream is I become a lawyer so I could defend the defenseless. Like a superhero. Haha.

Law is not frigid. Haven't you ever watched Ally McBeal? Hahahaha.

Pfft. He who fucks nuns will someday join the Church.

I think it's a bit unfair to accuse the whole law and business profession of lacking imagination and compassion for the arts...

I want to say this is big business' fault. Their complete lack of respect for people.

It's unfair, yes, but I still believe that whatever hurtful words I publish on the net is a small pebble in the avalanche of douchebaggery big corporations have done to artists all over the world. No apologies here.
