I'd take it farther to say that copyright and intellectual property is a legal fiction that ultimately benefits the wealthy[those who can pay to legally enforce it] over small artists.
Small artists get paid to create the art; corporations benefit from exclusivity.
- jayd16 2y agoThe alternative being small artists don't get paid and corporations benefit from non-exclusivity.
- kelseyfrog 2y agoSmall artists operate in a service-based economy, not a mass-production one. The value lies in their unique perspective, process, and personal connection, not just in the final product. You hire them, not just pay for 'art'. What they're selling lies outside of the fiction of intellectual property.
