Pvk, how do you determine who qualifies as an artist/author able to receive the "stipend" you talked about? What's to stop everyone form declaring themselves an artist and getting a free check even if they produce nothing worthwhile?

You can only give stipends to people who receive a certain amount of the voluntary approvals from the consumers.
