On principal I agree, but have you thought about how artists are to make a living? It is already hard now, so how should they make money in the future?
Comment on What is Cara, the anti-AI social media app for artists?

The same way they are now? Copyright is barely a protection for independent artists, and largely serves the interests of big “IP” holders like Disney.

You don’t have to do ANYthing in order to have copyright on your images.
That is standard throughout the Berne convention & has been for decades.
Registering makes court-cases easier to win, but having copyright on one’s renditions isn’t in any way requiring that one have registered anything with anybody.

Ok, but that is beside the point. Copyright only serves the interests of large IP holders, like Disney.

The issue there is that we still live in a capitalist hellscape, and artists need to make money to survive. Until we have a situation where artists can make art and not worry about where their rent (yes, fuck landlords) or food, they will need to be able to make a living somehow.
