If copyright didn't exist, artists would primarily monetize by taking commissions to make art, rather than looking to sell copies of art they already made

- anonymouskimmer 3y agoYes? Are you contradicting me or just adding another route in which broad availability of art would be limited? Most musicians monetize through performance after selling copies. While there are some jobs for spec music, it's not enough to support all of the musicians who are currently making a living off of their music.
