If I make art, I would like to get compensated by it. However, under market capitalism, my art has to sell well to make money, which means that I cannot make art out of pure volition, but have to adhere to what consumers like, which may not be in line with what I like. Plus, market capitalism/SnD opens up a whole other can of worms about copyright, piracy, and morality. With an LToV-based system for compensating for art, I will get paid based on how much I worked, rather than if consumers like it or not. In other words, I can allow people to copy and redistribute/remix it without worrying about a loss of customers. To quote George Lucas “[In the USA], you have to adhere to a very narrow line of commercialism”.

    My ideal for art and compensation would involve de-rockstaring all art and emphasizing the value of local art. I would want everyone to be an artist and I would give people more hours in the week to do art than to do work.

    Edit: If you can imagine how right now we work 9-5 monday to friday, I would organize society with soft and structural incentives so that one would have organized community art projects happening 1/3rd of the day, centrazlied labour 1/3rd, free time 1/3rd with the organized community art projects being large scale local/state projects that workshop all kinds of art, sport would also be a viable choice.

    All barriers to entry would be nill and it would demystify all art and produce works of beauty I bet, I think it should be a fundemental part of any society as it is such a huge part of the human expeirence, sometimes I think that reality is just a way for aliens outside our existance to generate art for there enjoyment, lets feed the machine.
