[QUOTE="MoonSong, post: 9654132, member: 6689464"] So far most of the people affected are from the 99%. Most of the scrapped material comes from small creators. I'm sure scrappers have barely touched big media property. Good and bad news with this. You can enjoy these tools for now at a substantially reduced cost. The only reason you can afford them is because you are being subsidized by investors. These companies bleed money, and once investor money dries up they'll close shop or will rise prices to something that better reflects their operation costs. (And I mean at least 5 times more expensive, though 10 to 20 is more likely) But hey, if you can spare $60 a month, you can afford to pay an artist form time to time. That can buy you 4-12 commisioned pieces -or at least it used to, due to AI many artists hace abandoned the low-end of the commision market -. That's a different discussion, and a bit of a whataboutism. Copyright laws aren't perfect but at least they protect small creators from being crushed by big media conglomerates. [/QUOTE]
