Broadly I agree with you, although does that mean that what you call 'genuine art' is always destined to be niche with small specialist audiences - in which case, how does art with a comment to make for the betterment of culture make a difference? Thanks Scott…

I think the corporations will focus more on the most sellable, namely music. Anyway, people interested in pop music and pop stars will find them in pop culture. Those of us interested in the genuine arts will always go out and find it. People who like music as an art don't listen to Brittany Spears.
