      Equating labor to digitized information sucks ass and anyone worth a damn should know better

      I am fully aware that compensating people per copy sold is a deeply imperfect way of compensating labor (just like playing a live show doesn't become more work the more people buy tickets, or for that matter waiting a table becomes harder if they order more expensive food)

      That said, it really, honestly is the best way we have in a lot of fields, or at least the one many creators say works best for them If you have a way to make this unnecessary by signing up authors for a regular per-hour salary from the Art Factory, I'm all for it

      But until then, it's like sneaking into a concert and being all "I didn't steal anything, you were gonna play the same show either way" (an analogy I got from @Hal_Duncan) You're technically correct but you're being a dick, especially if you actually say it directly to them

      Like "Okay I ordered the steak this time but I tipped you the same amount as if I ordered the burger You don't mind, right? I mean it's the same amount of work for *you* either way" Yeah okay dude it's legal but you violated a social convention that exists for a reason

      It's a shitty social convention. Wait staff should get paid a reasonable salary. You're arguing against the point you seem to be making.

      I just said if you can think of a better way to pay authors as "salaried employees" that doesn't just give more power to corporations I'm all for it

      And, contrariwise, the actual proposal to turn all compensation for creative labor into tipjars is literally making this industry more like waiting tables

      I'm saying that artists, of any stripe, should be able to ask for a set amount of money before making their next piece of art If they don't get that money and they choose not to make the art then that's their choice.

      Yeah people were proposing the Kickstarter model for years before Kickstarter actually did it, and it's worked out okay for a lot of people I don't think it's the future of all creative work though and its downsides are pretty readily apparent

      You'll notice that a ton of Kickstarter projects DO still actually charge money for the finished product after it's been Kickstarted They kind of have to, otherwise there's no value to the "backer reward" of Kickstarting it (e.g. early access)

          Which is why I'm suggesting Patreon rather than Kickstarter.
