that they worked for money doesn't mean money was the only thing attached to their art. You quoted a period very different from now, where there wasn't any stupid royalty or copyright: you had to work in order to earn money, if you were a painter, that meant making new paintings. I'm not stating that today technologies don't bring up new questions. But making silly laws that go against the nature of such technologies won't solve them.
