      “Artists don’t deserve to profit off their own work” is not what anyone said.

      Even if people can just take your shit and profit off it - so can you.

      This is not a complete rebuttal, but if you need the core fallacy spelled out, let’s go slowly.

            Even if people can just take your shit and profit off it - so can you.

            What entitles someone to take another person’s work and profit off it?

              No.

              The subject is intellectual property, in general.

              Why am I not entitled to share culture?

              Why am I not entitled to create, if similarity exists?

              Why does someone get to own an idea, just because they wrote it down first?
