Apparently, you've never actually *made* museum quality photographic[1]
art (I have). That is, you've never
I'm sure you are right. But does the average joe care about this stuff?
He just wants something cool to put on his wall. And the average joe is
where the money is made on the copyright to Ansel Adams stuff. Just like
the average person can't really tell the difference between an LV
handbag and a fake so they buy the fakes which is why LV is trying to
shut down the fakes.
You're right. I'd much rather pay $19.95 for Van Gough's Starry Night at
the souvenier stand than millions for the original. It might be a poor
facsimile, but it's close enuff for Joe to hang it in his living room.
But again, I use the "classics" to illustrate a point. I much more
prefer Tracy's example, becoz it's here and now !
