As an artist, I think it is a net negative for us. Disregarding the copyright issue, I think it's also consolidating power into large corporations, going to kill learning fundamental skills (rip next generation of artists), and turn the profession into a low skill minimum wage job. Artists that spent years learning and perfecting their skills will be worth nothing and I think it's a pretty depressing future for us. Anways thoughts?

This is similar to what I understand. Artists used to think they were this royalty of society, one of the courtiers of kings or whatever, and when kingdoms ceased to exist, they started to think they all can become Picassos with ruling as capitalist class. Nope, this is the reality.

I don't understand why people hate artists so much. Do you honestly want to live in a world without artists? Is that what you are alluding to?

Also interesting their arguments are literally identical like some of those used 200 years ago by the artisan guilds. Back then capitalism socialised production. Right now capitalism is socialising art.
