Let's talk about: Copyright

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopoly

In many jurisdictions, competition laws restrict monopolies. Holding a dominant position or a monopoly in a market is often not illegal in itself, however certain categories of behavior can be considered abusive and therefore incur legal sanctions when business is dominant. A government-granted monopoly or legal monopoly, by contrast, is sanctioned by the state, often to provide an incentive to invest in a risky venture or enrich a domestic interest group.

Patents, copyrights, and trademarks are sometimes used as examples of government-granted monopolies.

The original length of copyright in the United States was 14 years, and it had to be explicitly applied for. If the author wished, they could apply for a second 14‑year monopoly grant, but after that the work entered the public domain, so it could be used and built upon by others.

You're an idiot:

Nobody is trying to monopolize art. The typical wish is at least that the art created by them is not used for commercial use without a permission.

Art isn't being monopolized. Anyone can create art if they want without being attacked by artists.

You obviously do not understand that you're denying the very exclusivity while affirming that it exists while denying it again. Exclusive rights. Exclusive right you idiot means the same thing as monopolizing ideas, concepts, art, functions, abstractions of all names.
