Government funding of the arts hasn't worked out perfectly in the US, especially for even remotely controversial or political artworks. Can you imagine the NEA funding NWA or Noam Chomsky?

Now, I don't have a problem with adding new sources and methods of funding or compensating the arts. (In particular, I don't view government arts funding as an expensive boondoggle.) But I think it's a bit absurd to assert that copyright is null and void because you change the medium from a physical object to a digital format.
