Maybe copyrights don't protect artists they protect corporations

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Reading these comments has shown me that most users don't realize that not all working artists are using 1099s and filing as an individual. Once you have stable income and assets (e.g. equipment) there are tax and legal benefits to incorporating your business. Removing copyright protections for large corporations will impact successful small artists who just wanted a few tax breaks.

They protect artists AND protect corporations, and you can’t have one without the other. It’s much better the way it is compared to no copyright at all.

Which is why no artist has ever been screwed. Nope never one happened.

They’re screwed less than they would be if copyright was abolished. It’s not a perfect system by far, but over restrictive is 100x better than an open system of stealing from others.

So without copyright, if an artist makes a cool picture and coca cola uses it to sell soda and decided not to give the artist any money, now they have no legal recourse, and that's better? I don't think the issue is as much copyright inherently, as much as it is who holds and enforces those rights. If all copyrights were necessarily held by the people who actually made what is copy-written, much of the problems would be gone.

Citation needed.

Also copying isn't stealing.
