I wonder if this copyright protection would hold up in court.
I mean, the MoMA owns Van Gogh's "The Starry Night". But owning an artwork
doesn't confer ownership of copyright. Does the MoMA have the right to
assume that ANY photograph of The Starry Night is the property of the MoMA,
and that such photographs are protected by copyright? The forthcoming
(March) issue of Print Quarterly (the leading scholarly journal of prints)
will have an essay on this subject by Anthony Griffiths.

Isn't there a problem, though, with the fact that the images are
copyright protected by the museums who uploaded them?
Here in Canada, I think that makes them unable to be shown in class,
for instance. We can point students to look at them themselves, but if a
prof shows them in class, that would be in contravention of copyright.
What a pain!

A prof used in her art history class. Most impressive.

"Most people don’t realize how important librarians are. I ran across a
book recently which suggested that the peace and prosperity of a culture
was solely related to how many librarians it contained. Possibly a
slight overstatement. But a culture that doesn’t value its librarians
doesn’t value ideas and without ideas, well, where are we?" — Neil
