It's interesting. I agree that a number of these artists receive money from FACTOR, MUSICACTION, and what not. A good example is Jesse Zubot, who came in last week. He's a good friend of mine. He's a prolific artist in Canada. He has won multiple awards. He is an interesting fellow and he has an interesting music career. There are some commercial products that he and his partners do. But there's also a side of Jesse Zubot, and artists like him, that leans toward experimentation. I'm not sure what he said, because I wasn't here, but I would imagine he would say that although he might receive some money through FACTOR and other organizations, he would always want the ability to create in an unfettered way.
