Re: Is it image theft, or acceptable conceptual art? I found a dictionary definition for conceptual art, and I do not see how it would apply in this case.
The definition is as follows.
art conveying concepts: art designed to present an idea rather than to be appreciated for its creative skill or beauty, often making use of unconventional media instead of painting or sculpture |

kudos:3 | said by SueS:I found a dictionary definition for conceptual art, and I do not see how it would apply in this case. That was the point I was attempting to convey. The author of the blog post seemed to be saying that using the image as "acceptable conceptual art" was, somehow, permitted; thus, he used "image theft" as the antithesis. There is nothing I could find in copyright law that allows someone to use, without permission, a photograph under the guise of acceptable conceptual art and the author of the blog post cited no references for that phrase. Other than the blog post and this thread, a Google search pulled up no such phrase. |
