eh, i'll reply too. the only reason why intellectual property exists for art is because it's essentially the only way for artists to make money under this capitalist system. while i agree that a capitalist economic system is bad and that artists should be able to make a livable wage, intellectual property on art is more of a symptom of this larger problem

    I just don't think that intellectual property really achieves that. It seems to me that it is a much better tool for corporate control of art and culture than for protecting small artist. Someone who is trying to pay bills with their art probably can't afford lawyers to protect that work. That said, I don't necessarily have a better solution other than just asking people to support artist directly instead of going through corporate middlemen
