@Leyonhjelm @marine @hidden @allison @Owl @bot @professorpowerbottom Nothing but individual, distinct, physical items and territories can be owned in any way but metaphorically.

I do think it's correct to, if you're selling a reproduction of art, to adequately describe it as a reproduction & credit the original author, though. But that's because I value the history and evolution of culture and would like it to be accurately documented, not because I particularly feel for whoever's work was reproduced.

The world is made better by more people learning to reproduce art, because this way it is filled with beauty. When the world is filled with reproduced educational material, it uplifts all people to a higher standard and enables yet more evolution and innovation. Especially when what is reproduced is native to a people and culture, or stolen from outsiders & naturalized to facilitate your superseding them while retaining your distinctness.

Besides, art turned to shit when it ceased to be produced out of sheer passion or patronage.
