If he didn't want to make money, he wouldn't sell records or charge for tickets. (Or continue to prohibit open taping, because he fears bootlegging cuts into his own profits.)
End of story, come back from the land of unicorns and rainbows and join the rest of us in reality.

So, making an acoustic album, highly poetic, singer songwriter vibe, with a cellist, all released on an indie label was made to make him rich? You need to study the facts before you post. Why did Damien leave his previous band? was it because they werent commercially successful or because of something else? Why did he choose to go indie as opposed to major label route, what was the major label trying to get him to do in terms of music? In 2002, what was the labels response to the music he was trying to make?
theres a difference between wanting to make money and wanting to make money. He needs to eat and pay rent. Beyond that, if you think hes out there buying mercedes and flat screens and buying expensive mansions you are high.
Damien lives the life he portrays. He's always been this way. He wasnt some greedy guy in 2001, then changed to become a millionaire by peddling a record like 0. you want to make millions, i dont think you make an album like 0. His label sure as hell didnt think it would sell millions thats why he told them to go to hell
