[Page] 17 [My Comments] I am wholeheartedly against government support of the art. If people don’t want to voluntarily support an artist on conditions that the artist would like to be supported, then the government should play no role in forcing the public to pay for the cause they do not support. As for the platforms, the argument is moot in the sense that such platforms already exist. If Patry is trying to make the argument that the government should force everyone to use such platforms, then again, the government should not force copyright owners to use one or the other model for distribution of their works. [Quote from Patry’s book] 
This doesn’t mean we have to rely entirely on government subsidies – the marketplace is fine for works by corporations and by the popular authors they support – but it does mean we need to find non-market ways for other authors and artists to obtain the necessary initial conditions to create. Aside from government subsidies and tax breaks, one way to encourage more and diverse authors and artists is to ensure that online platforms exist where creators can post their works in order to gain an audience, run advertisements against their works if they choose, or charge for downloads, streams, or other uses if choose. Such platforms are free to individuals and provide a way to avoid the gatekeeper lock on success.
