    In theory, a way for an artist to independently sustain continuous output of creations.

      But how so? The only way it potentially makes sense is a Disney Vault like idea, but even then that only provides additional value for very old works that could be argued should be part of the public domain.

      I can’t think of a case where an artist would ban publication of their own work made within the last 20 years to make money, but please let me know of a potential case.
