simon-pierre BS: Art or Entertainment ?? (47) RE: BS: Art or Entertainment ?? 30 Nov 01


At the recent WTO negotiation (free trade thing) in Quatar, american delegation wanted to see unregulated the domain of entertainment, including music and books (!). Many countries were expected to bring a strong opposition, including Canada and France, among others, who tries to protect their culture in different ways (laws, subvention, etc.). The point of the american delagation was that there's a disctinction between entertainment and fine arts (dance, opera, theater...).

In other words: it is art when there's no money to make with it.
