I agree with it, however, this is useful for the average person (and only to the average person), not someone who has a passion or lots of determination to make art, and therein lies the problem: For those kinds of people there is little choice than to sell their art, because how the fuck are you gonna draw/paint/sing/write/act whatever you want if you don't have the basic shit you need to live?
You can't make art if you're on an empty stomach, or without electricity, or a fucking house. The only way you can acquire the basic conditions needed for you to make art is to buy them (via money) from someone who has them, and this means you'll have to sell your time and effort making art so you can have money so you won't just die, but then you have no more time/effort to make the art you want, so ain't that a pickle you find yourself in... Maybe, if there was a way for people to have these basic conditions met and assured for, they'd be able to do not only better art, but art for themselves, not at the whims of whoever has money. If only there was a solution for this conundrum....

I just received this question on my blog in regards to commission's and copyright, and wonder if /ic/ knows how this situation works.:

>I'm kind of new to freelancing, but I've been asked to do some promotional artwork.
>The employer (understandably) wants the copyright to the artwork, and wants to know how that will affect the price.
>I'm not sure how much more I should charge for the copyrights.
>Do you have any advice for me?

As far as I know, the employer is only paying for a service of getting a picture drawn, and shouldn't need to pay for any "excess copyrighting fees" .

But then, who is to promise that the artist wouldnt just sell off the promotional piece they made as prints elsewhere?

And why does the employer want the 100% rights to the artwork he didn't make? How will someone in the employer's position confirm by law that they'll be the only ones allowed to use that painting after they make it?

This situation is confusing me too. Normally when I did commissions and the buyer says "btw i'm gonna copyright this to me, hope u dont mind :)" and then take my commission, and copyright "dicklord © 2014" on their facebook without any credit, all I needed to do was chuff it off as my art would just get sourced back to me with Google Images or whatever, and the drawing idea was downright retarded to need to be credited anyway.
