Basically any artist who says they'll make less money because people run off with their work are saying they think their work is not worth being ed, OR they think the fans that would them will NOT do so now that they have access to their work, indirectly saying that fans are too stupid to understand that if they don't pay them, the artist won't be as motivated or be able to work.Â
Everyone has to put food on the table, any artist who says they're trying to make a living as an excuse against the spreading of their content is either arrogant, idiotic, or rude.
