It would sure be cool if all art could belong to all people.

Sadly, as long as we live in a profit driven system, there needs to be a way for artists to claim ownership over their work.

I don't see how people think this is any sort of slam dunk or how it could go against leftist principles.

I don't know if Marx would disagree with individual artists owning the intellectual right to their artworks.

And if you asked Lemmy about how long copyright should last, I doubt that Ayn Rand would approve.

Everything's just a retelling of Gilgamesh anyway, why bother protecting "originality"

Yeah, let a small number of billionaires to steal both the work and job of artists, then flood the market for art with poorly made mass produced garbage, because some idea guys are still pissed off about his artist and programmer friends not teaming up to make him GTA but set in his hometown, with VR support.
