I think I posted about this before, but…
I do not own any idea that I have ever thought was original. There is no character that is mine, no name I made up, no story I invented that had not been before. This said, I cannot claim to have ownership of any idea. Once an idea becomes art, or a story, or a comic, it now belongs to the artistic collective soul. That is, the expounding on the human condition which was a goal, and if I was lucky enough, an accomplishment, in a piece of art is in no way meant to be, it never was meant to be, an entity to be owned for profit. This in itself goes to worsen humanity. If art is owned, valued, priced, and restricted, it is no longer art. If one can’t take, mold, and renew a creation, there is little to no point in the original piece.
