          Stephanie,

          I don't know about all kinds of reproductions but I DO know
          that reproductions  that are framed and sold as pieces of
          art (e.g. pages out of the Bev Doolittle books known as
          "book prints") are considered a copyright infringement by
          the publisher.

          Why would someone pay anywhere from $300 to $8,000 for a Bev
          Doolittle print when they can have a similar (although not
          limited edition) image on their wall for $150?

          However, it IS ok if an individual buys his or her own book,
          and takes a page into a frame shop and asks it to be framed.
           Then, at least the individual knows where the print came
          from and its actual worth.
