No you misunderstood my point, I apologize for not making myself clear. They can make as much masterpieces as they want, I am not saying to only make one. What my point is meant to mean, I'm gonna have to explain with Hip Hop references since I am very knowledgeable in that domain. Pretend that no artists ever get paid for their work. We would still have people like KRS-One, WuTang Clan, Run-DMC, Rakim, Slick Rick, or even James Brown, Bob Marley, Kool & The Gang that would STILL be making music. Why? Because their incentive was never to get money, but only to express their artistic point of view via music. In that "world", we would NEVER EVER see the likes of Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Lindsey Lohan, 50 Cent, Justin Bieber because they simply DO NOT have talent and people would simply choose NOT to listen to them.

ps: under your worldview, there would be no Nokia\Google\Apple\etc; because they get no incentive to invent, innovate and create new things.
Brook's law only applies to project that are already late. If the best minds of the world start working together in a new project, that principle would not apply. And no, in my worldview there would be no corporations at all, only individuals applying their creativity and ingenuity in order to ease/satisfy people's lives. You are very wrong to judge me that way, I am very well aware of the so-called "capitalist" society we live in. Free Market and Competition are 100% wrong and should NOT exist! I think it is you who is in an incomplete understanding of reality. If you give everybody the ability to openly compete, all you're gonna see is a huge propensity towards Monopoly and Cartels, and hence power consolidation. That's all that Free Market accomplishes, despite the romanticism that people claim otherwise. I challenge anybody to explain to me how Free Market could exist without regulation. It will only lead to people covering up, in a warfare matter to shut down anything that is competing with them, that's the whole goal. Again, Monopoly and Cartel are the highest form of the so-called "Free Market". We shouldn't be surprise that we have monopoly and cartels running everything now. The FDA and the senate being paid off, this is free market at work, this is what it creates. And it still blows my mind that, that attribute is utterly denied by people who are proponent of this system...but I won't even go into all of that.

To resume, no, there is no way that a free market could ever exist. It is impossible.
Actually no, it's not impossible but it will only self-destruct in a very short period of time.
