Very interesting article. I particularly like the scarcity threat, and how 3D printing such as thingiverse are a threat to the gallery model. I had an idea some time ago for an iTunes for Art, where you can download art, as a way of allowing the majority of artists (who make no money from their art) to have a market to sell into. If you could download art and print it in 3D then it's possible! dave
