      I dunno how to explain this if people still don't get it but SFWA, NWU, the Authors Guild, etc are *labor unions* That's literally what they are, the NWU is even an AFL-CIO affiliate The framing of them as capitalist industry associations ("idea landlords") is pernicious

      Not really It's the equivalent of calling anyone self-employed based on their "human capital" a "landlord"

      It's like saying a surgeon is a "medical expertise and fine motor skills" landlord, that they should only get paid the same hourly rate anyone else does for any other form of labor, and anything more than that is "rent"

      And, of course, Big Tech with their focus on AI expert learning systems and automation is working hard on "fixing" that "problem" for every skilled profession

      Okay but someday when they train a RoboSurgeon to do a surgeon's job by tracking their movements so they can replicate it indefinitely thereafter, everyone with expertise is going to be in the position of "selling IP"

      A lot of trad creators have switched over to working almost entirely on commissions, especially visual artists, and it pays the bills but for a lot of reasons sucks The client has a lot more leverage in such relationships

      I mean, this is kind of my thing, we've had 15-20 years for these ideas to propagate, they're all out there, people are doing the best they can with them But the idea that the world is better now for artists than in the 90s seems unbearably Pollyanna

          like i also find insuferable the authors that get mad at piricy in public and claims its the sole reason of finantial strugle. But is 2020, the dream of the internet freedom making us more diverse culturale is already dead, internet freedom is the reason of MULTINATIONA MONOPOLIS
