RIP Michael Pillar. You will be missed!
 
The problem is called 'copyright'.

I certainly hope David Bowie is right in his prediction that in a few decades copyright as we know it today would not be recognizable and will probably be replaced with some sort of "Creative Commons"-styled solution.

I hate copyright as it exists today. Any doodle you write on a bar napkin is automatically copyrighted for 95 years. Copyright is an opt-out system that is totally controlled by lawyers, not the artists that create the art.

I know this little rant of mine will probably start a long thread of "copyright works!" posts, but I believe copyright isn't for everyone. It may work for you, it may not work for the next person.
