Post shower toilet thought: Copyright isn’t there to protect the author, it’s there to create a multi-billion dollar legal industry.
you poop AFTER you shower???
Heresy of the highest order.
Maybe he’s going to get back in the shower. Hold your judgement until we have more information. Some people just gotta poop a lot
just get a bidet and it becomes irrelevant. you’re living in a different millennium if you don’t have one. or don’t and stay dirty.
You can’t give UBI to a subset of people. Then it’s not universal anymore.
But if you did give artists a basic income, how much art would they need to produce to qualify? What qualifies as art? The law doesn’t do well with those kinds of questions.
Better to implement true UBI. Give it to everyone, and afford more security to folks who want to focus on art.
UBI and copyright are not mutually exclusive. Why wouldn’t artists want to earn more on top for the work they do and the value they create, like every other profession?!
you can sell your work without resorting to government enforced Monopoly.
Not when work takes a large amount of time to produce the original, and very little work to produce a copy. An original and a copy of a digital artwork are identical.
wrong.
Not all Art has the same value.
You think someone who delicates their life to musical excellence should get the same as someone who sticks seashells onto things?
What t about if they only produce one seashell covered mug per week? Per month?
If only there was some mechanism to objectively measure the value of what we produce.
