So there should be a better system to make sure
the work of artists will
be compensated if you want fulltime artists.
And such work is scarce, because you need to have people working for
months to get an album filled with ideas manifested in actual
recordings.
First we have a word issue here. What is the meaning you are using for the
word "work" in the phrase:
"And such work is scarce"?
Works of art may be naturally scarce, but copies of works of art are not.
Especially digital copies of them. For physical copies, the materials of
which the copy is made may be scarce and this may cause the physical copy to
be scarce.
So, can we find a way to "pay" for the naturally scarce bit without trying to
legally make the naturally abundant digital copies legally scarce?
That is, indeed the question and the problem to be solved.
all the best,
drew
