I disagree. One can definitely do digital art and still make money. Take XKCD or Cyanide and happiness for example. They provide free digital comics on their site for free, yet they have been successful in sell printed copies of their comics as well. The reason being, that people will pay for physical products that allow…
You should stop, like, now. Read this: http://www.cls.yale.edu/page.asp?file=2/168 And srsly, digital is a legit medium; it is not necessary to put the definition in legal documents; they also cover media to be invented in the future. Just stop it. Hi Fred!
The canvas and paint used (for tangible pieces) has no value on it's own, it's the artwork on its idea that has value. Art is property, whether it be tangible or digital.

Intellectual property (search the copyright act, it isn't in there) is a term made up by the publishers to strengthen their claim on copyright protected works. Americans have strong emotional attachment to their property rights and they used this as a semantic tool to socially…
Close, but not quite. I'm saying you own the right to control who can copy and distribute your works for the opportunity to make a profit from it. Some seem to be saying that a digital image of a 3D character, for example, is their personal private property. That's not the case. It has attached to it the right for you to…
Dear Greever, This is now the second thread in which you're presenting as fact your inaccurate opinion about a topic which you are wholly unqualified and under informed to speak on. You're neither technically correct, nor correct in speaking out about it in such a manner. I'm going to keep this short because I don't want…
