Cheap answer to the "deep" philosophical question: a perfect copy is an original. This comes from Quantum Mechanics.
So, if we can make perfect copies of physical works of art, they will be come as abundant as digital works of art. This could have interesting effects on the very notion of property.
- bigbugbag 13y agoThis reasoning is flawed. A digital copy resources requirement tends towards zero, an analog copy requires a certain amount of resources making it virtually impossible to copy at scale. Also I can have thousands and thousands digital works of art without requiring more and more display and storage space, when you have a hundred paintings, you need a hundred walls to hang them.
