I guess that is a harmless enough form of entertainment but that is not 
and never will be this world.

Personally I enjoy imagining a world free of hackneyed platitudes.

And in this paradise what do artists eat?

I guess that is a rhetorical question since they probably all are 
washing dishes during the day and the pantry chef has DLed all their 
tunes and is a real fan so he keeps the turkey sandwiches coming.

So, say I notice CDs with the name "u b i k" on them are selling pretty 
good and ones with the name "dennis gunn" on them are not.   Since you 
are such and altruistic type surely it will be OK if I start selling 
CDs under the name

  "u b i k"
