If I print off a copy of a Van Gogh making it clear that it's a copy, and then somebody else sells it as an original, who is liable for fraud?
- apetresc 8y agoThe intent of the law seems different in these cases though. The purpose of anti-forgery laws is to protect the producers and consumers of art from being ripped off financially. The purpose of deep-fake prohibitions is to protect the viewers of the video from being misled about reality, and the subject of the video from the consequences thereof. Yes they both involve making visual copies of things but the underlying dynamics are completely different.
- gotocake 8y agoDid you sell the copy to the person who passed it off as an original? If so, you might be in real trouble, especially if it forms a pattern of behavior. If it was a gift and no form of remuneration was expected or received you’re going to be fine. The more nuanced answer is “prosecutorial discretion” because this will be investigated. If you’re an art student who did this once, for $100, you’re probably just going to be told to stop being so naive, not held criminally liable.
