Oof. That is a painful truth, but truth nonetheless. I've had two photographs stolen, and it hurt, by people I knew. Though I try to take it as a compliment to make myself feel better. And it hurts me, as a creative, when I hear my friends' writing being stolen as well. Alas, people outside of the lit/art community don't care. But I don't blame them, when it isn't something they're invested in.

A great read but not very hopeful haha. If we're leaving it up to the general public to decide, I'm already looking for another job.....
This hits hard. Wow. Thanks for writing this as only a human could. (Please tell me you did write this and it’s not AI 😉 If not, I just give up then)
