Bullcrap. They'd just have to make their money in ways that do not depend on
distribution of non-scarce goods. And they already do.
Musicians, for example, are performers. They have a service to sell. That's
how many make their bucks. There's models like Kickstarter, where you pay
upfront - for the act of creating, not for the eventual distribution (which is
costless). Donations or patronage can be a valid source of income, too.
Your claim that we need to restrict access to a good that is inherently not
scarce (and indeed, not depletable) for artists to make a living at all is a
disingenuous lie and flies in the face of reality.
