Does copyright pay artists? As it seems to me it pays copyright holders collecting them like trading cards and Artists getting paid is more a side effect.
Copyright concerns redistribution but if one gets paid a satisfied amount in a patron model (before production) you don't "need" copyright. For work that is copyrighted many consider a Creative Common license that permits redistribution.
If royalties are paid, in most cases the artist will get some. How much depends on the contract he signed. I agree it's not a great system. I'd like to see some direct licensing with the artist rather than what we have today, but something is still better than nothing.
