Francis Ford Coppola: Maybe the Downloaders Are Right

Coppola is an artist of truly diverse talent, driven by a maniacal demand for perfection. His talents surprise people when you know his full body of work, and are intriguing when you consider the scope of his family's work. 

In this statement he generates more discussion about art, compensation, greed and inspiration for a topic that is not going away. 

If you accept that art is like any other business, and artists should be filthy rich, you also assert that CEOs and investors get to be super rich too. 

But really, art is art, and the art business is a super mega international conglomerate, right?  And maybe, soon, the machines will be able to make what we accept as "art" today, and the whole argument becomes moot.  Then we will see humans free to produce true art- free.
