The future is bright with copyright

It is not easy to be a content creator. As an artist myself, I can vouch that behind what audiences are able to see for five minutes can be equivalent to hundreds of hours of hard work, focused study, rigorous training, sleepless nights, emotional stress, and not to mention monetary investments. A work of art does not appear from thin air. An artwork is never free.

It is high time we retire the tired trope of the "struggling artist." How? Let us talk about the intellectual property rights — specifically, copyright — of a creator.
