If you destroy privately owned art that the public couldn't see, does it make a sound?

[-] Xeroxchasechase@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago

The concept of private ownership is weird, if you think about it. It's like penguins collecting stones they've found and not letting anyone come close

[-] Ikelton@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

When you describe it like that... I feel like it makes more sense. Like, of course the penguin is gonna want his safety stones. I buy that.

Private ownership of things made by people is perfectly reasonable; the person who made the thing should own it and be able to sell or transfer it as desired. So a rock you found isn't made by people, so yeah, but a painting, or a chair, etc, was.

It's land that wasn't made by people where private ownership gets really ridiculous.

I can relate to that, but even in this manner, most of the goods made are the result of vast investments of time efort and money of lots of peoples over decades, just for few individuals to be the owners of.

(Btw, English is not my main language)

It is true that once production of an item becomes a greater task than simply the work of one person, the ownership of it can be considered more complex, but my point was that at least something created by people makes sense to be owned by its creator.
