But then we would have to pay from these incomes, too. The further incomes, this would be not very much money. The times have gone, where the musicians were able to exist only from the music itself. 1997 one of our artist-colleagues (we made an album with him) told us, he also would have to pay for the nursing home (his father was there), if he would get incomes with his music some day. A few weeks later his father died, and September 2007 he himself did with 60 because of cancer...

Authorities are always inhuman, they also force people to move into smaller leased apartments with only 1 room directly after the widowing, if they don't have enough incomes anymore to pay for the current bigger leased apartments. For the authorities it also wouldn't matter, if a musician would have plans to build up an own existence with the music. In the newspaper ads I saw very often the words "Sale due to lack of money!". Suddenly something had happened, the musicians had to pay very much (mostly immediately), although they didn't have this money, and they were forced to sell their musical instruments. They had to give up with making music...

In many cases the authorities send someone to the house / apartment to control, if the person has material goods, and their visits are unannounced (I got these knowledges by watching TV). But if they would send the bailiffs to take us away our musical instruments, they cannot take us away also the computers, because computers and internet are part of the basic needs (by the today's laws)...
