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.

The point is the actual money is becoming hyperconcentrated in Disney and other corporations because those old obsolete distribution models *are where the money is* The Internet increased rather than decreased overall inequality because *people online don't make any money*

my own half-baked rant on this topic is that copyright/digital publishing is a distraction. what we're seeing is the steady erosion of the boomer economy--namely, a world where the average person *made enough money* to pay for bespoke content like a local newspaper or magazine

I think this is broadly speaking true but that this is a feedback loop, not a single first-order effect The evaporation of traditional media leads to the normalization of piracy which in turn leads to the further evaporation of legit jobs in "New Media"
