It's interesting seeing all the people who used to complain about copyright now realizing that copyright does in fact protect small artists, and it's actually the reason why anyone was able to make a living as an artist at all.
On the one hand, it's good that everyone is starting to get on the same page, but it sucks that things always have to get worse before they get better. This is a good opportunity to perform some introspection and think about what kind of mistakes led you to the wrong conclusion on this issue. Maybe it'll be constructive and helpful for other issues.
Me personally? Copyright is failing your advocated purposes of protecting artists work and their living, and living up to my belief that it was the wrong tool all along. Maybe you could use some of that.
The thing is, just getting rid of it is worse.
The tool is done, the current implementation has been warped to favor corporations. That doesn't mean throwing out the tool is the answer
I don't advocate that really, the reply was to the guy who responded to my comment as if he had won an argument we never had, and then went on to ask that I examine all my other life choices because I might be wrong about them too. It was something for him to think about.
What a shame.
nah, the artist income game is even more rigged than the capitalism people like complaining about. basically 99% of all art revenue goes to 1% of artists, while the bottom 50% of artists get basically 0% of the income. it's incredibly unevenly distributed. the income inequality among artists is even more extreme than it is for wage workers.
99% of what art revenue? There isn't a global "art account" that gets divided among anyone who calls themselves an artist. Individuals earn what they earn.
The people pumping out mainstream movies are obviously going to earn more than those doing furry porn commissions on the fediverse.
if there is no global art budget, then why would anyone care about AI output taking away market chances from small artists?
Are you high, Gandalf?
