I dislike the way copyright is intended :/ people should be able to do what they want.
totally fair. However, I think there's a case to be made for it, at least so long as we have to live under capitalism. If an individual artist comes up with a unique character that becomes popular, that character is an important piece of that artist's livelihood. Ripoffs and clones would eat into the artist's livelihood, and now the artist doesn't have enough money to live on the earnings from their art alone. They have to go get a soul-sucking job to make ends meet. Should we not be protecting that artist's livelihood from copycats that would seek to profit from the artist's creativity without paying the artist for that right? Should we not be doing everything we can to ensure that artists can live off their artwork alone, if they are talented enough?
My neighbor spent 3 years recording an album, but I have a larger online following, so I just took it and put my name on it and now I'm making $10 per sale.
Fuck copyright! Do what you want!
