Personally, I enjoy imagining a world where money and corporate
interests don't set the tone for how art is created, stored, shared,
and handled.  In fact, the whole paradigm of the competitive profit
model is retooled and balanced out with a  cooperative approach.

In an even more insane display of differentness, beautiful things are
openly shared in that world because people choose not to buy into
the idea that resources are scarce and that survival is a deathgame
necessitating the protection of one's own.  Artists view their
creations as gifts they were given rather than commodities they
manufactured, and the ego's insatiable need for praise and credit is
assuaged by the satisfaction that the world has been made a better
place.

Also, dogs and cats live together in harmony, and coffee is better for
you than broccoli.

Hey, I can dream, can't I?
