That is too logical and convenient to be allowed under psychopathic capitalism that runs the world

Give artists a basic universal income, and I guarantee every single person on earth will suddenly discover their "inner Picasso" to qualify.

So what you're suggesting is the artists should make a set income, determined by the legislature.

And then create lots of free art that isn't copyrighted.

So that a corporation can come along, take their art, and use it compared with their superior distribution and marketing to make more profit off of it than the artist ever could, without paying them.

Sounds like a flawless system.
