If I make art, I would like to get compensated by it. However, under market capitalism, my art has to sell well to make money, which means that I cannot make art out of pure volition, but have to adhere to what consumers like, which may not be in line with what I like. Plus, market capitalism/SnD opens up a whole other can of worms about copyright, piracy, and morality. With an LToV-based system for compensating for art, I will get paid based on how much I worked, rather than if consumers like it or not. In other words, I can allow people to copy and redistribute/remix it without worrying about a loss of customers. To quote George Lucas “[In the USA], you have to adhere to a very narrow line of commercialism”.
Absolutely, as a professional artist, it is a nightmare. I have to be willing to draw almost anything in order to keep my lights on and all the ideas I have that I want to create, I can’t, because they aren’t profitable, everything needs to be empty, vapid and crowd pleasing, not challenging and thought provoking (or at least, an attempt at that, it would be nice to try at least.)
