    I also agree that ethical sourcing is pretty ridiculous given real world constraints, but I’m holding out hope that someone figures it out.

      It’s not hard to figure out, it’s just not economically viable to set up a system for it when the alternative is just not worrying about ethics and doing it anyway. We struggle to get companies to pay slightly more for recycled plastic than virgin plastic, this isn’t any different.

        By “figure it out” I meant “figure out a way to get big companies on board”

          You do that by banning or disincentivising the less ethical option, the moment it’s less economically viable, they’ll pivot, unless it isn’t an option.

              Extend GDPR or create a similar framework. It’s also why I said “or disincentivising”, if we can make it a good pr move to license from artists and provide a system to do so through easily while admonishing companies that don’t use it we could get the bad pr to be too much compared to weaseling around the licensing
