Making a living as an artist is a dream only the tiniest fraction of privileged people have ever been able to do. Of all the economic injustices in the world, the fact that it's a lot of work to scrape by providing some awesome entertainment is not one that justifies a lot of sympathy and certainly not one that we should destroy cultural freedom and technological freedom over. It's nice to be transparent, and I don't mind Pomplamoose's original article. The artistempathy.com article is hyperbolic and out of touch.
