Art and copyright: what’s at stake
Unfortunately, a article from The Art Newspaper from April 2009, "Art and copyright: what’s at stake" by Simon Stokes is no longer on line. He is the head of the art law practice, and partner with the law firm Blake Lapthorn in London. He wrote "the" book on copyright issues for the arts: Art and Copyright. After some searching I found the relevant portion on theGoogle book preview here - Art and the Internet: Copyright, Related Rights and Digitisation
The above mentioned Art Newspaper has just recently moved to a new website. The old website, and some archives, are still on line, go to Old: The Art Newspaper and input Copyright in their search to find some 52 assorted articles about the subject (it goes back to 2012 only, so the article by Simon Stokes is no longer available).

Droit de suite
(French for "right to follow") is a right granted to artists or their heirs, in some jurisdictions, to receive a fee on the resale of their works of art. This should be contrasted with policies such as the American first-sale doctrine, where artists do not have the right to control or profit from subsequent sales.

I am sick to death of your hollow shtick, of the inevitable line “unfortunately there’s no budget for music”, as if some fixed Law Of The Universe handed you down a sad but immutable financial verdict preventing you from budgeting to pay for music. Your company set out the budget. so you have chosen to allocate no money for music. I get begging letters like this every week – from a booming, affluent global media industry. ...... read more

To Exhibit or Not to Exhibit, That is the Question
I was recently asked by an online friend and fellow artist about shipping artwork overseas to an exhibition. In the course of our correspondence, I came to the conclusion that the exhibition was not a good deal for the artist. All costs, shipping and insurance, risks, damage, loss and theft lay solely with the artist. Then on top of that, there was an entry fee, supposedly to pay for the exhibition promotion, albeit a small one, and the final show stopper was, no selling opportunities.
Now, I’ve done my fair share of sending artwork away to likewise exhibitions. There was a point at which the stress of sending the artwork, getting the artwork back and all of the attendant costs, and no sales, just didn’t add up and made no financial sense. Oh, but you could say that it furthers my career. But how does this further my artistic career when I have to do other work to sustain its costs?

We are currently rebuilding our website with a new theme - so temporarily this site is functional, but a construction zone.
Headers, background and certain special new functions will be built in, respectively changed. Additionally, most Slide Shows used to be embedded from our Private Social Network on Ning. Since Ning discontinued Flash some time ago, the space where the embedded slide shows supposed to be is blank!
We are working to fix this as well, but with over 500 pages for artists alone, this will take time.
