The copyright protection and the political issue are sometimes separate, however. I did a painting that I called American Fare...an innocent painting of a father and daughter at an American FAIR but featuring three All American products/icons/symbols. I was warned not to sell the painting. I<br />do have it online under "The Jaundiced Eye of Father". In my case it is considered 'charming' and American. It even stands as free advertising for companies/products but there was still a corporate objection!<br />In the case of Nadia the jealousy of copyright is perhaps hiding political ideology and she is being punished for merely showing it. This rises to a free speech and democratic affront. I can't see how we as artists can say what we want...especially about rich and poor (leave out massacre and bloodshed) without using the symbols of our times.<br />Betty PieperUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07256243470832421195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4073789.post-3434902347649318882011-03-14T15:30:18.276-05:002011-03-14T15:30:18.276-05:00so why dont the company just buy the art in questi...so why dont the company just buy the art in question and say no more!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
