      I was thinking more about the cd producer and purchaser. If the purchaser knows they are getting bootlegs it’s just plain old copyright infringement, if not it’s counterfeiting.

        And why wouldn’t the artist who made the thing not be included in, “everyone involved” that needs to know?

          Is the original architect involved when you sell your house? Everyone involved in that specific transaction knows what is being traded, stop acting dense.

            Sketchy analogy.

            But if we are talking about famous artist architects (like your Frank Lloyd Wrights, and I’m sure there are others), the yeah they probably are actually.

            But we’re not talking about resale are we? We are talking about bootlegging legitimate artwork.

              Even for legitimate copies, a retailer doesn’t get in touch with the artist to let them know who they’ve sold a copy to.
