I received this from the owner of a commercial photoprint company. List
users may be interested in commenting ,as he is clearly concerned about this
apparently growing trend. Your thoughts?... which I could forward on to him

" Hi Roger,
I wanted to bring to your attention a most concerning new trend among many
digital camera and cameraphone users. As the owner of an online nationwide
boutique photo service, I have noticed that more customers are snapping
photos of art -- from paintings to photographs at an alarming rate. A
typical example is someone on vacation and instead of buying art, they
simply take a picture and have us enlarge it. They then order custom photo
enlargements with our online photo service, and thus preclude the necessity
from buying the art directly. I am concerned about protecting the rights of
the artist and equally protecting their livelihood. I wanted to share this
with you and Global Museum readers and was wondering if this is a growing
trend that you have also been experiencing"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
best wishes to all
Roger
