Absolutely based af :)
How do artists pay for their food and rent then?
Depends on how radical we're talking.
On the less radical side - UBI, donations, contracts for creation of art that people want even if it's not copyrighted afterward, Convenience Factor (often used by FOSS projects), and also the fact that a lot of art is created and intended for free redistribution anyhow ^.^
On the more radical side: re-examining our entire concept of work and labour and rent, decentralused gift economies, automation, the destruction of capitalist structures as a whole, etc.
