my opinion on the CN leaks very quickly went from "hey maybe the artists didn't want those out there :(" to learning a thing or two and realising "hey wait the big corpos had these artists under ball and chain and flat refused to let them use this material in their portfolios what a dick move!"
it's become increasingly clear to me through many creative industry leaks that despite an artist's pride in their many months of work, if it doesn't make the shareholders happy, it gets thrown in the wood chipper.
it's a harrowing loss of beautiful work and it should absolutely be prevented.
