Just some food for thought. My husband is an artist. After he sells a =
piece of his work it no longer belongs to him. The purchaser can resell =
the work at any price. If the price is higher than the original sale, too =
bad for us. We are frequently asked to donate to a variety of fundraising =
causes. Again, after we give the work free and clear we have no control =
over it. Now I realize that there are copyright laws that protect art =
mediums such as books, movies, and music. Yet there is not much protection=
for visual artists. Perhaps because this is how we make our living my =
tolerence for what I view as an unfair copyright law it pretty low. I say =
if we can exchange stories great. I will be happy to offer what I have.
