hoped this would provide some strong counterarguments. Unfortunately,
merely declaring that the artist's labor has no value worth protecting does
not make it so.
It is not thet the artist's labour necessarily has no value although, like a
plumber's labour, it might have no value.
It is more a question of the damage we do to society by trying to compensate
the artist for that labour via the laws of copyright rather than in some
other fashion.
