How do they support themselves now? Usually by having another income stream, or not very well…

Though I’m not suggesting they should give away their work for free. I’m saying they should maintain rights (and consequently royalties) to their work.

Regardless, we preferably would remove capitalism outright and work towards a future where artists can pursue their art for its own sake. Everything else is a bandaid.

So… Sounds like the health insurance companies, the companies that buy and redistribute intellectual properties for profit, and the general for profit systems are the problem?

I f**king love how censoring curse words has become the new c*rsing for the internet!

Used to be that cursing was a way to show your disdain for having restrictions placed on your freedom of expression. Now cursing without censorship is considered “polite internet speech” and adding an * is offensive and uncouth. Your right to express yourself how you choose be d*mned!

The irony is too good!

Throw in some speelling errors and watch people go f**king insane.
