| Copyright Bandits |
9/16/2004 - Although copyright laws prohibit the copying of an artists work without that artists permission there are always individuals who seek to gain economic benefit by stealing other's copyrighted material. With technological advances in copying technology and with extremely low labor costs in some less developed parts of the world artists and buyers of art must be particularily vigilant to ensure they are not taken advantage of.
There are a number of initiatives artists and their representatives are taking to protect their interests. You may read about one of these regarding bronzes at http://www.bronzecopyright.com.
For artists there is useful information on that web site on registering your copyright material in the US.
