Who are you talking about? What is their living like? From what I can see writer's and musicians mostly live in poverty unless they are hobbyists. Like me.
I produce audio art (eg https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jrAAPbg81ks https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jrAAPbg81ks). No thought, ever, to copyright.
- balderdash 3y agoUmm the millions of people that are employed by/earn their living from video game companies, movie and tv, magazines and newspapers, publishing houses, and musing labels. Not to mention all the royalties paid to individual artists etc. (I.e. ~$36b in US book sales, assume a ~15% royalty is ~$6b paid to creators). And yes plenty of people try unsuccessfully to make a career from their art or just do it for fun as a hobby.
