    “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?
