You seem to want free and easy access to any person's creative efforts. Why should they not want easy payment for those efforts without having to find ad hoc add ons to get you to pay for what you want to consume?

So you keep saying and yet when questioned to give one good example of how these monetary contributions will come about you can't seem to do so.

Ah yes, the old "if you want to be paid for your efforts it's not truly art" argument.
Well if you don't want to consume anything that isn't created for "artistic purposes" then why don't you put your values and ideals above your desire to consume and simply do without all that art that is supposedly created for no other reason than for the creator to be paid?
Btw, do you get paid for your efforts in whatever field you make your living? And are those endeavours in any field that would be commonly referred to as "artistic" or "creative"?
