I mean all performers, musicians, and artists, including those who produce crap. I don't want there to be any tax at all on creativity.

I take a different view. Britney can do whatever she wants, as far as I'm concerned, and she has rightfully earned all the money she has ever made, regardless of the merit of her work (or lack thereof). In my opinion, the people who should be beaten are the people who collectively shell out billions and billions of dollars for the CDs, magazines, and other products that feature Britney's crap and the people who insist on keeping her in the news. They're the reason why we continue thinking and talking about Britney.
