I'd be objecting anyone that gets paid to produce cultural pollution.

Are you getting paid to produce cultural pollution?

Nearly all of classical music was sponsored by and produced for wealthy patrons. Is that cultural pollution too?

The body of work that reached the present day is the refined version of that. All the duds were forgotten.

I'm sure back in the day, Salzburg people were also rolling their eye about yet another Requiem.

Please discontinue this style of rhetoric, it's not what this site is for.

The "people will starve without copyright" rhetoric is also quite off-putting.

That's not a rhetoric and it's also not even close to what I said or what I actually think. Please don't make things up, it's doing a disservice to yourself.

What you are implying is that people only create something if they can "demand payment" for it, no?
