schestowitz> Jul 28 01:15
schestowitz> we arent going to have a falling out by the way, over the vaxx thing unless you want to.Jul 28 01:15
schestowitz> Jul 28 01:15
schestowitz> from most people i wouldnt put up with the regular insults about my iq (i do qualify for mensa-- so do most guys on the internet, but unlike them i was actually tested at a useful age by professionals. not that it matters, just that it flies in the face of that meme.)Jul 28 01:15
schestowitz> Jul 28 01:15
schestowitz> i dont take your memes personally. i do take issue with them non-personally, on behalf of those who do.Jul 28 01:15
schestowitz> Jul 28 01:15
schestowitz> as for the other person im discussing that issue with, they dont seem to qualify for mensa at all, and theyre very rude. i of course, will only do so much to resist the temptation to return the favour.Jul 28 01:15
schestowitz> Jul 28 01:15
schestowitz> but we agree on more things than we need to work together, and we agree strongly on many things.Jul 28 01:15
schestowitz> Jul 28 01:15
schestowitz> im not an anti-vaxxer, im against the state forcibly injecting things into people.Jul 28 01:16
schestowitz> Jul 28 01:16
schestowitz> so as long as you poke at anti-vaxxers im probably going to comment too.Jul 28 01:16
schestowitz> Jul 28 01:16
schestowitz> imo people should get vaccinated, but-- the arguments for why they should be required to are false and unethical in my opinion.Jul 28 01:16
schestowitz> Jul 28 01:16
schestowitz> as long as something unethical is being proposed that im capable of arguing against, i will.Jul 28 01:16
schestowitz> Jul 28 01:16
schestowitz> also, im REALLY good at analogies. across several disciplines, enough to impress almost anybody. as long as analogies are the dual weapon of choice, im really not afraid.Jul 28 01:16
schestowitz> Jul 28 01:16
schestowitz> theres always someone with a higher iq or better kung fu than yours, and im not attached to it as status. yours is probably higher than mine. either way i dont have the patience for a doctorate.Jul 28 01:16
schestowitz> Jul 28 01:16
schestowitz> cheers.Jul 28 01:16
schestowitzmemes aren't ridicule alone; they're just a fun way to get points across.Jul 28 01:16

schestowitz“How does the museum handle the copyright aspects of these pictures, should it wish to display the drawings and/or to reproduce them in a catalogue? “Jul 28 13:30
schestowitzBased on years of experience managing copyright in a major museum, I can dash off a few responses to your question. Here’s how I would have handled it:Jul 28 13:30
schestowitzFirst of all, as to the issue of the display right – both the artist and the owner the physical work can claim a right to display. If this were not so, there would be no art market nor would museums and galleries exist. The owner of the physical work may not, of course, reproduce it without permission, nor, in jurisdictions recognizing moral rights, display it in a manner detrimental to the reputation of the artist. The artist, however, Jul 28 13:30
schestowitzis the first owner of the right to reproduce (among other exclusive rights). Commercial use would be out of the question (unless the children would benefit from it financially – hypothetically).Jul 28 13:30
schestowitzMinors can and do hold copyright (in the countries I have dealt with). Therefore, their consent or the consent of a parent would be necessary for reproducing the drawings in, say, a museum catalog. Interestingly, I was instructed that in Israel, while a parent’s authorization should be sought, a parent cannot take an action detrimental to the child’s economic rights. That is, if it were general practice to pay for such a “license,”Jul 28 13:30
schestowitz a parent cannot waive payment. If other reproductions in the museum catalog were paid for, the children’s drawings would have to be paid for at the same rate. Jul 28 13:30
schestowitzIf the children’s’ parents cannot be located, the question then is, are these drawings historical artifacts of importance to our cultural heritage, and therefore beyond questions of how many legal arguments can dance on the head of a pin? You put it this way: “Are there copyright defenses such as fair use or an implied license, or some other public interest which might supersede, in whole or in part, or otherwise impact on the Jul 28 13:30
schestowitzapplication of copyright law?” And I would answer, yes, there may be clear public interest defenses; the most important is that a plea for help is arguably an implied license. Jul 28 13:30
