It would be a nice gesture on their part to purchase the original and display it to acknowledge my authorship,(but not to allow for more accurate copying of the painting...ahem! That would be fostering unquestionable copyright infringement. I'm sure that's not what you meant.) I am amused that they felt the desire to copy the idea--ideas can't be copyrighted--but their version might be enough of an imitation to be considered copyright infringement. I suppose I could contact Design and Wine and ask them not to use the imitation. Maybe I should do that to discourage this kind of thing. I was pretty amazed at this discovery and I needed a good subject to blog about. I'm hoping to get reactions to this post.

I love your insight. I am thinking however,...Sandi,<br />I love your insight. I am thinking however, that the clever business should be invited to either purchase or lease the original work for display in their place of business. They should show you the respect of acknowledgement. Perhaps your friendly offer would suggest copyright infringement could be addressed in a monetary fashion. <br />Colleen Hankshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07228767477344045598noreply@blogger.com
