Are you suggesting that all art should be free?

Especially if the creator(s) is deceased.

Are you suggesting only the wealthy are deserving of art?

[-] SayJess 2 points 3 weeks ago

Only the wealthy can afford art? Music? Movies? Graphic Novels? Video Games?

Are you being obtuse?

almost nobody can actually buy any of those, only a license

Eventually, yes. If everyone's needs are provided for, there is no requirement anymore to extract value from art, one can just make it and share it freely.

Disagree

Capitalism is at the heart of your question. Art should be valued. Artists should be paid. Neither of those things requires capitalism or copyright laws. If as a society we funded artists properly none of this would an issue. The line that copyright is good for artists is total bullshit. It's a smokescreen that corporations use to prop up the system they created and benefit the most from.

Capitalism is definitely a major issue. I just don’t see how someone should not be compensated for work they perform, this includes art. Art can be free, but it shouldn’t have to be free. I think we may be saying similar things here.
