It is very clear where the writer's sympathies lie. "Copyright maximalists" versus "Copyright minimalists"? - sorry, no "Copyright reformers".
Even as a fan of modern art Andy Warhol has always left me cold. Nothing he did seemed original or said anything.
To me seeking permission to use someone else's work is just good manners, regardless of money. That is the point.
- denton-scratch 4y agoI agree that asking permission is just good manners. Thing is, Warhol's entire output is based on copying; not having obtained permission is a large part of the point. I'm no art critic - I'm a phillistine - but I think one way of interpreting his work is as a commentary on copying.
