@kate damn the professional lying industry is cutthroat
@kate do you think they get bonuses for finding the biggest possible thing to lie about?
the dream: the law protects the humble artist from having their work stolen!
the reality: under the vast majority of contractual relations artist-workers have no ownership over what they produce, disney can sue you for drawing three circles on a napkin, and urban outfitters will just give you a middle finger and clone your designs anyway because fuck you we have lawyers
just kind of here, you know?
