Is that an argument for not paying for a good artist performance? What
jobs are "real" enough to qualify for supporting artistic work that is
done for free?

I know that's how it is. But isn't everyone positive to pay for good
music and art? We pay for it because we love it and want it! And I
think it's just natural wanting to pay a person that creates this art
in order to keep his/her skills up and evolve without being slowed
down by "a job on the side".
