The real solution is to abolish copyright
Absolutely based af :)
How do artists pay for their food and rent then?
Depends on how radical we're talking.
On the less radical side - UBI, donations, contracts for creation of art that people want even if it's not copyrighted afterward, Convenience Factor (often used by FOSS projects), and also the fact that a lot of art is created and intended for free redistribution anyhow ^.^
On the more radical side: re-examining our entire concept of work and labour and rent, decentralused gift economies, automation, the destruction of capitalist structures as a whole, etc.
That would be great in the fully automated space gay commune, until then though we don't want artists to starve.
gay?
For some reason a lot of the Internet relates communism with homosexuality. I think maybe because heterosexual people established capitalism? Idfk
I guess just homophobic slander? To be fair I read it as a "space joyful commune", which seemed to make most sense. Giving it the benefit of the doubt...
