"intellectual property is currently the economic basis for all art made by small business owners"

This is straight up false. The most reliable income models for independent creatives is either 1. Crowd-sourcing a wage for their labor (Patreon-type stuff) 2. Selling labor directly (commissions) 3. Selling material goods. None of these rely on IP. Income based on digital goods is flimsy and unreliable: either your product goes viral or your income dies.
