Hey, there's an MtG world tournament. It's in my bedroom. On my bed.

It's sex.

Okay, okay... what keeps you interested in Magic all these years, and has it become a career/job, or do you work a normal job on the side?

I absolutely, 100% disagree with you. As a working artist/composer/etc, the inflation of everything is killing your profits. Music is selling more now than ever -- it's just at a cheaper price. You're getting a shittier cut of the deal, because everybody else still wants to have a bigger piece of the pie than deserved. They want to spend less, but still feel they should be paid more. Advertisement, distribution, etc... it's cheaper than ever, so is the actual equipment and etc -- many people are losing their job, because their job is no longer needed.

Piracy hasn't discouraged my passion -- piracy has helped me. Do you know who is killing my passion? My publisher wanting 30 - 50% of my royalties, and a label trying to siphon 65% of my fucking income while forcing me to pay for everything out of my pocket, while doing shit fuck all by way of promotion.
