Dude, I think you're oversimplifying the problem. What you said can apply to pretty much ANY facet of life that someone chooses to pursue. So, I guess nothing of the sort should be funded at all? I'm sorry, but I disagree with you here.
the whole point of funding would be so that people don't HAVE to steal musical gear. Grants from the government would provide that for them, if they qualify.
The National Film Board of Canada hands out grants to aspiring filmmakers. This is a great start, but we need more organizations like this with better funding to really encourage homegrown Canadian talent that can make positive contributions domestically and abroad.
But, I guess some people believe that it's always a safe bet to spend it on more and more roads and road upgrades.
