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 and house 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.
In many European countries you can live very good off the government.
You don't have to earn money.
ymmv depending on the country; last i checked, the ones in the uk aren't having much a great time.
According to the internet no british has a good time in England ...
