Deeply, deeply ironic that the developers claiming to "give control back to the people" won't even let them chose their own profile picture.

I understand and support being for the abolition of copyright, but I don't think it's possible under capitalism. Artists need to eat, and food costs money under our current system.

The ownership of ideas and the ownership of a specific piece of art are different concepts, too. If artists could patent style, we'd all be breaking the law.

Do artists not deserve the right to decide who profits from their art, even if it's posted to the internet? Would it be ethical for me to sell posters of artwork I did not create without the artists permission?
