      Everyone should take note conditional soup has yet to give a solid answer as to how the artist actually gets paid. So here’s a good question for everybody who’s reading this if an artist doesn’t get paid why would they continue?. And by artist, I mean, painter, singer, actor, songwriter, etc.

      I’m moving onto another conversation

        >99% of art does not make any money though. You don’t need to pay people to create art. You only need to pay them to create art faster. That’s how nearly all artists make money today: Comissions. Copyright only really benefits the most popular 0.1% of artists.
