Now you're being misleading and intentionally so. I
never said that the exact same artists should continue to make the exact same income. I've always spoken in generic terms of artists and writers and so on. Not once did I intimate that things couldn't or wouldn't change.
However, there has to be some viable mechanism for artists of all types to continue to make an income. Without that, removing copyright is foolish and malicious.
