Wonderfully, there is now technology that makes it near zero cost to replicate their art and make infinite copies. Thus allowing great art to be created outside of commercial models.
Imagine if all the shower singing in the world could mix together and self arrange into symphonies that anyone could search and listen to for free. From shower singers who choose to share their songs, of course.
Art costs. Great art costs a lot. You might not be willing to pay the price for great art, but somebody is paying that price. Even if it is just the artist.
Consuming art often is free indeed, but this should not be confused with the cost of producing it, and I had the feeling that the comment I originally answered to did just that.
Take a look at spontaneous graffiti murals. I’ve seen some amazing ones that were made with stolen paint. The artist used their time because they love the art.
Just like many open source developers donate their time and there are many great projects that don’t cost. But, of course, some do.
