Gates' company, Corbis Images, approaches cash-strapped galleries and offers them bags of much-needed cash in exchange for "digital rights in perpetuity." I'm sure that banning photography inside the gallery is part of the equation. Where do all of those photographs go?

Long a fan of his visual style, I found his attitude disturbing. In my reading, I came across this piece:<br />http://www.art-for-a-change.com/Obey/index.htm (I promise this isn't spam, I am not all connected with that website). It seems Mr. Fairey has a disturbingly long history of such non-contextual image "borrowing." I have been watching this story with interest, and will continue to do so.

To put them all off limits in an ill-informed attempt to protect their original context would severely restrict artists' ability to interact with and transform, or at least interpret, our world. We are beseiged with images that define our world; the fascism lies in their prohibition as subject matter. When a million photos of Obama exist, and an artist uses one to make a drawing or painting or poster, does that make him liable? If so, then the image of Obama is out of reach, as are images of almost anything. You are making a fundamental mistake in assuming that art exists because of artists, who need therefore to be protected. The same misconception exists in the music industry, which believes that downloading will have the effect of curtailing future production of music. Of course, no such thing is possible. Music and art are threatened only when artists and their creations become too protected (and I'm using the word "artist" loosely here as anyone who produces images, not as someone who transforms images to make new meaning, such as Fairy.Rogernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777454663138389757.post-27570764571976451612009-06-04T11:45:50.833-04:002009-06-04T11:45:50.833-04:00This reminds me of the debates over sampling in ra...This reminds me of the debates over sampling in rap songs.

If I make a drawing from a photograph in an encyclopedia, is that wrong? Do I credit that person?
