Guns and Roses isn't relevant because they are part of pop culture. Monet will always be relevant like Picasso,Da Vinci or Matisse.

Following that line of thought, he took a picture of it and showed it to his friends, printed copies for them and then put it on his site where anybody could print copies of it. And he did it right in front of the guy with the license to sell reproductions.
Smart move.
But like I said, he gives up the source and he walks. Wait and see.
I just went to a website and saved a picture of the Mona Lisa. I'm sure there is somebody who holds that license to "sell reproductions" somewhere. However I didn't buy this nor did anybody attempt to sell it to me. It was made available to me to download print and hang on my wall for free. It's up to him if he wants to roll on his source. I hate it when the government squanders resources on things like this.
Why are they wasting tax payer money arresting this man? The time & money it costs to go after this man would be better spent going after rapists,child molesters,murderers,big drug traffickers, thieves that that steal your grandparents pensions,crooked politicians stealing from the tax payers,ect. need I go on.
