It seems where feelings really get hurt is if I exhibited this picture and sold it. The intellectual argument stops fast and the commodity one begins there. Plagiarism begets ownership and so forth…. But I can’t help but wonder why this isn’t different than the Shore picture. Is it OK to re-photograph a Shore, Jackson or Atget because they received their accolades and Flickr user eyeseeyou hasn’t? With content based photography the issue is a tough one irregardless and like the readymade will always be rife with arguments.
