legalize copyright infringement

to be clear this is a fully sincere political belief that I have. I am pro copyright infringement and in fact anti "asking for permission to make derivative art"

a few people in the notes seem to be under the impression that this is a stance that requires caveats. so just so we're all on the same page: no exceptions. "stealing art" (copying existing works for personal gain) is a good thing.

some of you seem to have bought into the capitalist lie that copyright infringement causes artists to "lose money", which fundamentally assumes that everyone (or even like a notable portion) who obtains a would-be-illegal copy would have otherwise paid full price to obtain the original. and like we all know that's not true right

So without copyright, what would prevent capitalists from taking a book and selling copies of it at a much lower price than the author? (thereby preventing the author from making money on their creative work)

this is already how copyright law works. working creatives (the majority of people in the industries) already sign away their work to "capitalists" (problematic wording - petit bourgeois artists are typically already capitalists, but i do understand the intent) and then are not permitted to make money off of or sell their work, have no claim to it, and will be legally decimated if they try to outside of whatever very narrow avenues may be granted to them

I like it when my friends make art shout out to friends making art

girl who is so so scared all the time. girl who once passed as 'smart' but now finds it hard to think. girl who's always half lost because of memory issues and dissociation and trouble with inhabiting a physical space. girl who is a failure in a way that is neither interesting nor endearing.

there's seriously such an insidious problem in every corner of socialization both online and irl i've ever tried to participate in where people genuinely think if they're nice enough or have gone through enough bad things it means they can override you saying no to them. because they deserve it so much can't you see? if you don't then you must just hate them. just another thing they really want but are never gonna get haha... fuck... they're gonna have a panic attack they're gonna hurt themselves they're gonna- Oh you changed your mind? Okay yay :) everything is fine now :) RINSE AND REPEAT RINSE AND REPEAT UNTIL THEY GET EVERYTHING THEY WANT OUT OF PEOPLE NO MATTER THE COST

this isn't even me vagueposting anyone in particular from my past because i swear to god this has been tens of people ive met before. this is a big reason i stopped socializing on social media because it felt like every other person i met who i shared a bunch of things in common with was potentially gonna stalk me if i ever didn't comply with Their worldview where i'm just a supporting character, not an autonomous person with my own life. and the only solution is to just not keep people like this in my life. i've TRIED and it never fucking works, i can't get through to them that this behavior just isn't okay or sustainable. they'll pretend to agree with me so that i think they're mature and can handle conflict and then they'll just not actually do anything with the information, continuing to get whatever they want by whatever means necessary

i think that soy sauce fish and honey bear must be the very very best of friends

Is this what they mean by CNC kink?
