Unpaid Intern Musicians?!?

[jmattbassplaya]

I honestly don't see the analogy. Pro athletes? The student aren't professionals AFAIK

Considering the revenues college ball brings into athletic programs... yeah... they should be paid.

I'm beginning to think unpaid internships are a complete fabrication that corporations have developed to get free labor. It's all about the bottom line, and so long as it remains that way people will continued to be screwed over by those at the top who put the almighty dollar before basic ethics and principles.

Okay... I'll admit that I have no idea what that has to do with this tangent. It started with post 132.

After reading this entire thread, including the misunderstandings that were later corrected, who exactly is getting screwed?

You are right. "Professional" has nothing to do with actually being one. I stand corrected.

If you want to play postmodernist with definitions, then it can be argued that nobody is a professional.

You are right, this is pointless. Bye.
