Re: Should creative endeavours ever be bought or sold?

[(Anonymous)]

At the end of the day, I believe labor has value and everyone has the right to demand compensation in return for their labor, although I also believe everyone has the right to refuse compensation for their labor.

It's a more complicated question than just whether creators of arts should get paid, because behind all of those creative people are a whole lot of relatively less creative people who had to perform labor in order to bring about the creative work.

If I don't have to pay to see a play, that doesn't just mean I'm not compensating the actors and playwright and costumers and so on for their labor, I'm also not paying for the theater to turn on the lights, and thus I'm not paying for the burning of fossil fuels or manufacture of solar panels or whatever was done to create the electricity. I'm not paying the theater's water bill, and thus I'm not paying for the city to maintain its water mains, and pump water through them, and treat waste water. I'm not paying for the theater to hire a contractor to fix the roof when it leaks and I'm not paying the custodian who vacuums the lobby or the people who manufactured the vacuum.

If I don't have to pay for a book, I'm not paying for the paper its printed on, and the logging and processing at the paper mill, and I'm not paying for the machinery that printed and bound it or the driver, truck, and gasoline that delivered it to the store.

If I don't have to pay for a painting, I'm also not paying for the paints or the canvas or the brushes used to make it.

If I don't have to pay for digital art, that means I'm not paying for all the labor and resources it took to make the computer and other equipment it's made on.

Also, we already have programs funded by taxes and donations to support the arts.

Not to mention the proofreaders, editors and typesetters (or equivalent) for ebooks! And the people who put them up on various sites for sale, and the people who design the covers...

Yes! I remember hearing from someone from a publishing house say in a convention panel that if an ebook looks good on your device, it's because a lot of effort went into making sure it would look good and be pleasantly readable on different devices.
