@lxo@gnusocial.net I'm already published -- many, many times over.

Copyrights protect not only my published works, but my unpublished ones, as well, because copyrights automatically devolve to the artist.

Do corporations abuse their production rights? Yes. They're corporations. They're greed factories.

But what these anti-copyright fake-ass "activists" want is something (a) completely unintelligible -- they don't actually KNOW what they want to replace copyrights with, because they don't give a fuck about the artists... they're merely self-entitled consumers; and (b) nonsensical, because who else, besides the artist, should hold the right to say what is done with that art thereafter?

I don't expect an intelligent (or even intelligible) response. I've had like 5 of these pointless discussions this week, and only in one case was my interlocutor capable of discussing copyright from an artist's POV. The others all immediately devolved to name-calling and shit-throwing "leftist" pablum about how I'm a nobody, and therefore I should just give all my artwork and writing away to ungrateful very-online gamer bros.
