Well, I'll comment on your comment. It's expensive! I've already mentioned the percentage of the Brazilian minimum wage to support a family of four. It's naive to think that someone with a salary can afford to pay that amount for pornography and let their family go hungry. Thinking that he makes a comic today and only a year from now will we be able to see the entire comic on the Internet, we have to recognize that it's a reasonable amount of time for someone who's in a hurry to see it pay. Even patents expire over time. In the past, a paper magazine cost three dollars and it wasn't worth paying for. That's changed. Today, in my country, many famous girls on YouTube are on Only Fans, charging for it and exposing themselves absurdly to everyone. They earn theirs between the leak and the release of the video. In the past, a guy would release a vinyl and it would be copied on cassette tapes. He would release an original CD and there would be silver coins sold on the streets. There has always been an audience that is willing to pay for the original and one that will copy it. Art has always been counterfeited and copied. If it weren't for counterfeiting, we wouldn't have Da Vinci's Last Supper in practically every home in the interior of my country.
Lobão, a famous singer in these parts, saw that there was no point in trying to fight copying and released his albums on the internet for free almost two decades ago. Today, this is common practice for those who want to make money from advertising on their pages and at shows.
What I want to say is that no one thinks that Moiarte doesn't deserve to earn money for his work. But if he really wants to earn money, he should understand that there are other ways to make money from advertising on the internet. If he were to post every weekly image he posts here without a caption on his page with a caption, I guarantee you that everyone would go there to get the news. He could post it on his page and earn money from advertising with the number of people accessing and seeing the ad two or three months after it was released to the public who have money and pay in installments. But it's like they said. There's a question of greed in this and unfortunately, copying will happen. And worse, I think that with A they will have the technology to take an entire erotic story and turn it into a comic in a few years. A few years ago in my country, they would pay you to translate erotic comics. Today, Google translates with better quality in two minutes what used to take you an hour to type and translate. Art is alive as it circulates and adapts to the moment, and this is important for the artist to understand.
I hope he understands that it is necessary to adapt to what is old and that it is reflected in the new. He is not the first artist to be copied and he will not be the last. In any case, he is to be congratulated for his art, which if it were not good, no one would try to copy.
