My only issue is what if you start as a single artist but it gets so popular you become a corporation?
Like if your little cat guy gets popular enough you make a bunch of merch, maybe a video game, get offered funding to make a TV show… When does it switch? I could totally see this abused like “yeah we want a cat-guy show on Netflix! Here’s 100k to make it… Aw shame you are now above the personal limit so your copyright no longer exists so we will make it ourselves and you get no money!”
As I outlined previously I think this would involve somebody or a lot of somebody’s a lot smarter than me writing very elaborate law to fill in all the edge cases but yes.
I see the intent but can also imagine so much abuse… “yeah I own the copyright privately, yeah megacorp finances me, and yeah I technically own and control megacorp but the copy right is privately owned… Why are you asking all these questions?”
