    Fuck the gatekeepers of culture. Pay your artists a living wage and then you might have some moral ground to stand on. Most of those artists died in poverty as a result of these same companies paying them pennies on the dollar. Now those companies want to strangle their artists’ legacy so they can squeeze the last bits of profit out of their work. This is nothing but vampire capitalism doing its ghoulish best to suck the life and joy out of our collective cultural history.
