No, I’m not saying artist money is any more immoral than any other purchase. I’m also saying artists should not depend on donations only. I also did not say I exclusively pirate. Don’t put words in my mouth.
I’m saying the current system is broken. Replacing it with tips is not the solution. Transport and creative industries will see huge lay offs in the coming years. We need to decide as a society what we value. Is it creating art and pleasure or lines going up on company spreadsheets. Free spread of ideas and art is an ideology. The only reason not to allow it is to profit. Those profits don’t go to most artists.
You’re still not saying how you plan on paying for anything or otherwise supporting artists. Or what you’re doing to end these systems. What are you doing other than making up excuses for your entitlement?

No, I didn’t as it’s not really a post about that, but I think ubinis the way forward.
