As an artist, I think it is a net negative for us. Disregarding the copyright issue, I think it’s also consolidating power into large corporations, going to kill learning fundamental skills (rip next generation of artists), and turn the profession into a low skill minimum wage job. Artists that spent years learning and perfecting their skills will be worth nothing and I think it’s a pretty depressing future for us. Anways thoughts?
That’s basically how I look at it. Every time a new medium shows up people panic about it, but in the end we just end up with more ways to express ourselves. The real problem is capitalism as usual.
And thanks for the tip, gonna have to take a listen.
