In this article they talk about
the legal rights of pieces of art that you might own, that you yourself have
created, or pieces that you might want to use. For example when they point out
that if you own a Picasso you have the right to restrict, deny, or be
compensated for access to it due to its copyright laws but other than access to
the image the only limit to using these materials is your own imagination. They
bring up several cases were people sued big companies/movies like the architect/artist
Lebbeus Woods who sued the maker of a movie because one of their rooms in the
movie looked similar to one of his drawings he won the case. Or when the
photographer Denis Brack recognized one of his photos used in Signs. And they
state that in both cases it could have been avoided by paying a small fee
before they used the art work.
