My collection of photography is MY legacy to hand down to my child, just like any other collection or inheritance.
That's getting too much into areas of copyright law that I'm unfamiliar with... so I'm sorry, I have no idea.  |
All I'm saying is that I try to support the artist so they can continue to make music. Families don't play into it for me. I would buy a Ziggy Marley album to keep him making music but I'm not going to buy a Bob album to support Ziggy.
Get what I mean?
Believe it or not copyright law try's to extend that far.
