What is Indie?
Tom:
If I buy a CD, I try to buy it from a local CD store that is not part of a long chain. This way I support independent musicians and local businesses, rather than pouring money into the Fat Cats' pockets.
Ballard:
Which is precisely why they're failing.
I actually really respect Richard Branson. He built that company on his blood, sweat, and tears. But he's more involved in Virgin Atlantic and being obscenely rich than in the label/chain nowadays. Whoever is running the company for him is murdering it.
Tom:
I too respect Branson, he is fine entrepreneur and reflects all the attribute that one aught to have.
On the other hand i don't respect established, obscenely rich companies out of general principle.

This has nothing to do with indie, I just wanted to see if I could get you to imagine it.

That really confused me for a second, 'cuz I immediately thought "Oh, he's talking about capitalism... but that's only tangential to indie! Or wait, is it...?"

So you're saying one should be a fine enterpreneur but should strive never to become successful out of sheer hate for The Man?
I have nothing against established and/or wealthy companies. It is when these companies abandon what made them established/wealthy in order to become more wealthy that I have something against them.
