    Ugh yes these artists, so mean, so evil, greedy and disgusting, they don’t deserve being paid not even a tenth of the minimum wage. 60 bucks isn’t enough to cover that 12 hr job you say? Where do you live???









  • We are not talking about what the most realistic case scenario would be if something like royalties were implemented. Of course companies will find ways to screw their workers, for example, with speculative profit as part of payment etc etc. I’m with you in that yes that’s what’s most likely to happen if it were applied in our society in this day and age and in some countries it would go worse than in others. We get that.

    The whole point of this comment thread was what isn’t happening, therefore, which morals or ethical considerations one doesn’t need to mind because of that. It’s not that “this payment style would be better if implemented”, rather, " if payment worked that way, pirating would be harmful to the workers"
