People collect video or digital art. What would be the difference in that case?
- talldayo 2y agoIn that case, they can collect whatever they want. The unique or special value of owning it in your collection is effectively nothing since I can enjoy the full-fidelity version at no cost wherever I go. This is the inherent problem with "collecting" something that is digital and can be infinitely reproduced. I collect things because they're unique. Things that exist everywhere in abundance are not interesting to me. I could collect Coke-a-Cola bottles, but that wouldn't be special; I'd just be hoarding a bunch of trash.
