should the government control art?
yes. not completely but to a point.
when the artist begins threatening someone's life, saying they will kill them or portraying the murder of someone, i believe it should be censored.
example: Eminem's song Kim.
this song was the sounds of eminem killing his (now) ex wife for cheating on him with a member of ICP. it was disgusting and vulgar.
art may be created to let out the artist's feelings and innerthoughts, but when it scares someone by threatening their lives.
BUT, if someone just wants to create something in a pure way, the government should not be involved.
Good point...I never thought about the harm to others...there are "artists" I have read about where that has been the case...though I debate the idea of truly considering them artists.
