UK.Gov passes Instagram Act: All your pics belong to everyone now

Interesting.

I hope I don't get such a notice.

15 years ago I did a reversal performance and image documentation of Duchamp's famous Pasadena 1964 comeback performance. It's on my Facebook page.

I link to his image, but copied in reverse his idea. I think he had it wrong!

I am most likely OK. Fair use in an Academic usage.

There is a contentious side to the proposal, I think. Correct me if I am wrong.

One of my younger brothers (now in his Sixties) published on the Web a scholarly work regarding Marcel Duchamp and it necessarily included images of Duchamp's work.

He received a Cease and Desist Order from some kind of organization claiming to be a protective agency for Duchamp's work.

Duchamp's work is so beyond any copyright that it is crazy!

Does this relate at all with topic?

I wouldn't believe it was "ill thought out". It was more likely well planned and conceived without a shred of concern for those it affects.

Or that typical self serving Condem bunch.
