It's enormously frustrating that the fight has devolved into either supporting the current exploitative environment... or champion a different exploitative environment, with slightly more progressive branding.

except that the secondary one allows for greater freedom of expression and open to more creators. and helps even create creators.

I became an artist, after I became inspired by other artists i discovered after becoming a fan of a show that I discovered because someone "stole" footage from the show, combined it audio "stolen" from skyrim and combined them. & my work has inspired other people to create fanart

there were animators on both star vs the forces of evil and the 2012 tmnt series that got their jobs after being discovered after they got inspired to create fanart due to their love of several shows.

I have never argued that fair use should not exist as a concept and I do specifically think the question of IP is far murkier when it comes to derivative works Even among "copyright maximalists" the idea of banning all fan work is mostly a strawman

We're not really talking about that though, we're talking about the erosion of any business model based on copyright until the point it becomes unviable, and as a result the total amount of cash in the "art economy" steadily shrinks

there will always be money in the art economy. consumers don't stop spending when something goes away, they just spend on something else. the only difference is it wouldn't be concentrated in the hands of a few huge entities. community vendors, commissions, merch, it still exists

Yeah the trends in the industry are going the exact opposite way The digital era hasn't seen the Gini coefficient among artists decrease, it's in fact skyrocketed The Internet era has made Disney more dominant than it's ever been

i thinks thats more disney's doing. gobbling up company after company, IP after IP. the internet has allowed for more variety. online only books, youtube tv shows, etc. and honestly, disney is getting there because they are holding onto the old ways of theaters and tv.

so as traditional media outlets shrink power is getting consolidated. it's WHY companies keep trying to get control of the internet.
