    in a reality where you’re forced to trade your labor for life’s basic necessities; it makes sense that artists and any other creators would defend intellectual property since it’s the main means for most to feed themselves.

      Yeah it does, I didn’t say it doesn’t, just like it makes sense for other bourgeoisie like the tech billionaires to defend low taxes and low regulations, it’s class war where classes act in their material self-interest, as they should.
