So computers are free now? And no one has to pay electricity bill either?

Wow, good to know.

My guess is people who work on crafts also will need to pay for the electricity, and also the rent, you know for the roof above their heads, and water, for the bathroom and such.

There are EXTRA expenses in the creation on non-digital art.

If you want to get nitpicky, yes, working digitally has the cost of the electricity and the computer, but you would be spending that money anyways if you listen to music while you painted a commission with oils.

On the other hand, you won't be buying oils unless you produce stuff with them.

So in short, for you writers don't spend money at all in their craft and the same goes for digital artist (and apparently the the hardware and software they need, on top of the extra use of electricity and so on, don't matter), so they deserve less (or even nothing) than a more traditional artist.

Not at all. I am firmly in favor of fan artists and fan writers asking for payment

What I believe is that for both digital fanartists and fanfiction writers, what you pay for is the effort, knowledge and acquired skill.

They do not have to pay for materials in the same sense that a traditional artist has to contemplate maybe running out of watercolor paper, but they do deserve payment for what they do.

I was told by someone else that my comment might be misleading to what I meant, but what I tried to say was that digital art and digital-only writing have the same kind of impact regarding costs for the person who is producing them.
