If I paint a study of Van Gogh’s Starry Night, even though I painted it it’s NOT my art. Trying to sell a reproduction without acknowledgment that I’m not the original artist is forgery and fraud.
you're still looking at art through the lens (window, frame) of today, my comment was to remind that this proprietary way of seeing art wasn't always the norm. "Original artist" is itself a product of the market. There were no fraudsters, only artisans making images.
Van Gogh is an interesting example, whose paintings wasn't worth a cent during his life. Others, later on, profited from his work.
Art world itself is full of absurd examples working on these ideas. (Latest must be the Comedian.
"history" has a clear definition and implies writing… i would have written but apparently my understanding is considered "old conception" now ☞
The use of symbols, marks, and images appears very early among humans, but the earliest known writing systems appeared c. 5,200 years ago. It took thousands of years for writing systems to be widely adopted, with writing having spread to almost all cultures by the 19th century. The end of prehistory therefore came at different times in different places, and the term is less often used in discussing societies where prehistory ended relatively recently. It is based on an old conception of history that without written records there could be no history.
owning "imagination" or ideas, images or even melodies is a new idea for humanity. For most of our history people wouldn't even think of owning an idea and profiting from its reproduction.
If you accidentally delete files you shouldn't, you don't want this deletion to sync to all your copies so it's gone for good and the backup doesn't help.
edit folder > ignore delete
and you don't have to worry about syncthing deleting your backup
