"Making art is not an "economically rational" activity." [..] you have copyright maximalists who say [..] "If you don't pay for art, no one will make art [..]" corporations [..] know that they are in possession of a workforce that has to make art [..] paycheck or not [..] because it matters to them, and this trait makes workers terribly exploitable"

As someone who chose making money over art, this particular truth cuts deep into my unfulfilled artist soul😢
