In the US, an artistic work is automatically protected by copyright when it is created. Displaying the art publicly does not remove the artist’s copyright. Only the artist/copyright owner can grant someone else rights to use the work. Again, public accessibility of the work does not degrade the copyright.
You realize that what I’m talking about protects the artist, right? I’m not talking about the RIAA or MPAA, I’m talking about the creating artist’s legal ownership of their work.
That’s not how intellectual property rights work.

Yeah, but fuck copyright.

You may not like this, but I still don’t care.
Mm, I see, you’re one of those people…
