So again I ask… was John Cage’s “4’33"” “necessary”? What about Banksy’s “Love is in the Bin”?, William Gibson’s “Agrippa”, Sol LeWitt’s Wall Drawings, or Tino Sehgal’s “Constructed Situations”?
My point is that nothing about a piece of art needs to: be “necessary”, fair, rational, permanent, OR please any audience. How, when, where, and IF art is observed or interacted with at all, is at the SOLE DISCRETION of its creators and their appointed licensors.
It’s likely that every single video game you have ever purchased held a disclaimer that the software was being licensed, not sold. That you did not read/were not aware of the meaning of that license is irrelevant to the legal definition, nor the moral authority of the artist. Period.
Have you produced or sold any creative works yourself?
No, I should have clarified better. I was wondering about your term of the word “necessary” in this sentence.
It is a necessary course correction back to the historical norm of the amphitheater.
What makes you believe that returning to this historical norm is necessary?
SOLE DISCRETION of its creators and their appointed licensors.
It is up to the customer if they want to engage with such works and the terms they are bound by, right? A transaction is a two way street? An EULA is a two way street?

Who cares? It doesn’t need to be for any reason at all, it is the creators prerogative; that is the entire point of the debate.
Why was John Cage’s “4’33"” “necessary”?

The customer I imagine. They are the other side of the equation right?
