Picasso once said, "Good artists borrow from the work of others. Great artists steal."

These were two unrelated statements which happened to be said at the same time. This wasn't about plagiarism, internalization, or even art theft. This wasn't specifically about the every-day kind of theft burglars and shoplifters are jailed for doing, either. However, it does help maintain credibility to have a criminal record.

Picaso was targetting hucksters and grifters. This includes con-artists and the IRS. These are people who convince others to give them money while offering little in return. Art is a piece of paper with some scribbles on it. It is some canvas which has already been spoiled. It is a CD filled with 48 minutes of senseless noise.

Picaso knew something about true artists. It is something they should never forget. Real art is in the money. Anyone can splash some blobs of paint on a canvas and claim it "wall space"-worthy. If you convince another person it's worthy of their wall space, it's another story. If you convince them to pay thousands of dollars for something which took you 25 minutes and three cans of Dulux... you are an artist. Not anytime before.

Great artists steal our pocket lining, and the pocket linings of one another. Don't be fooled by the deceptive philosophy called art. Do not set foot into this seedy underworld. It is criminal stuff. It is an artist-eat-artist quagmire of corruption.

The RIAA treats artists the way the American Mafia treats store owners. It is done through protection rackets. Sony/BMG, Universal/EMG, and WB treat artists the way pimps treat their women. Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears treat each other like fighting cocks.
