Museum Asks People To Recreate Paintings With Stuff They Can Find at Home, Here Are The Results

Even though most of us are stuck at home and can't go out and enjoy art in museums, that doesn't mean that life is boring or uncultured. The Getty Museum in Los Angeles challenged art fans to post photos of themselves recreating their favorite works of art from the safety of their homes. People responded with a lot of enthusiasm and flooded social media with their unique artistic interpretations.

Sir - have you any opinions on the current Berne Convention copyright length?

It’s too long. 70 years after death feels wrong. I’m good with 50 years, though.

[shiplocks-of-love]

It should be zero. What good is extended copyright after death of the creator in the 21st century? The right to be asserted as the creator of a work should be separated from the economical value from that point. All it’s doing now is filling the pockets of greedy companies.

[neil-gaiman]

And it’s also feeding loved ones and children after the death of the person who made the art has died.

Here’s a blog I wrote long ago about creators having wills. And a sample will. http://journal.neilgaiman.com/2006/10/important-and-pass-it-on.html?m=1

John M. Ford was pretty much the smartest writer I knew. Mostly. He did one thing that was less than smart, though: he knew he wasn't in the

I like the idea of feeding Ash (he’s four and not yet able to work) with my stories after I’m dead. I’m not good with feeding my great grandchildren.

As an author, I don’t agree with this argument at all. Why should your past works support your family anymore than anyone else’s?

A man who works his body day in and day out and pays his taxes every year to support his family gets nothing when he dies. Most he gets is an insurance plan out of pocket.

Why should I get that sort of luxury? How am I better than the working man? How am I better than someone who worked dozens of times harder than me?

Even then, how are you sure the money is actually going to your estate? How would you make sure your family continues your legacy through hardwork, and not through old money?

It’s something I don’t exactly agree with. I think there are more ways to support your family after you’re gone, and I don’t know if extension of copyright is it.

[neil-gaiman]

So you’re arguing for a world in which no property of any kind, physical or intellectual lasts longer than the death of the person who bought it or made it? In which houses, stocks, comic book collections, all become part of the commonweal? Because right now, you can leave your property to your children or your loved ones. Touchable property and intellectual property. You can leave them money, too.

Anthony Burgess (who wrote, among other things, A Clockwork Orange) was told (wrongly) he had months to live. He wanted to support his family after he was gone, so he wrote books, fast and well.

He was lucky. It was a misdiagnosis and he didn’t die.

But I’m on the side of Anthony Burgess in this. I’m glad that Douglas Adams’ books took care of his daughter Polly when she was a small child whose father had just died, and more so when, a decade later, her mother died as well.

I’m a writer. What I do is write. I have adult children who are taking care of themselves, and a four year old who can’t. I’m in a couple of Covid risk groups, and could in theory be dead in a couple of weeks. (I hope I’m not.) PWhile there are “more ways to support your family after you’ve gone” that aren’t based around things I’ve made up and written down, I didn’t actually want to stop writing and making things up in order to do them.

I think the current copyright laws (death plus 70 for individuals, 90 years after creation for corporate things) are too long. But I don’t think you should lose your property, physical or intellectual, when you die.

[avayarising]

I agree that copyright should last somewhat beyond the author’s death. Otherwise it sucks that money that would have been paid for this work is no longer being paid just because you’ve died. I think even 50 years is too long though. 25 years is plenty of time for dependents to find another source of income. Even infant children will be fully grown after that point.

I’d also be happier with copyright that counted from the creation of the work, rather than from the death of the creator. 50 or 70 years after the creation of the work will still do all that, avoid the sudden cut-off at death, and release creations into the public domain in a reasonable timescale.

[neil-gaiman]

Mm. I’m on the advisory committee of the Authors League Fund. We give money to authors in dire need. A lot of the authors who get the money are old. Some of them you’ve heard of.

I like the idea that when I’m in my seventies the work I did in my twenties will still be in copyright, and will still feed me and my family.

I don’t like the idea of creators in their seventies, eighties and nineties (or older) suddenly seeing their work put in the public domain and out there making money for other people, while they (possibly quite literally) starve. It seems both shortsighted and honestly a little entitled.

Sooo I’m guessing that for Americans “cross” and “sauce” rhyme?

[appendingfic]

I cannot imagine what pronunciation would cause them not to, so yes

[kragehund-deactivated20200518]

if you live somewhere that “sauce” and “horse” rhyme, i don’t want to hear your opinions on literally anything.

Harry: What if we gave them all smallpox

Hermione: HARRY NO! We already eradicated it once, let's not make the world do it again

Harry: Oh yeah, I guess you're right

Hermione: Now tuberculosis, on the other hand...

Hermione: If Voldemort likes the good ole' days so much, why don't we bring them back? Old society, old war tricks

Hermione, putting on a gas mask: New plan. We take them out with consumption and mustard gas

Hermione, to Voldemort: Did you know, historically, a majority of war deaths come from disease?

The Whole Enchilada, Moab, Utah - Presented by ENVE

The red rock desert surrounding Moab, Utah is a harsh and barren landscape that only the toughest creatures thrive in. It is a place of surreal beauty, unlike anywhere else in the world. For these reasons, we return to Moab year after year to thoroughly and systematically beat the life out of our bikes. Moab is our proving ground – our worst line choice, wheel smashing, tire obliterating, backyard amusement park.

Known to literally disintegrate tires from the sheer force of cornering, Luke Strobel has played an integral part in testing, developing, and bombproofing the latest M Series. For the final test, it’s Luke against 27.5 miles and 8000 feet of descending on the iconic Whole Enchilada. A battle of attrition for both bike and body, from the peaks of the mighty La Sal Mountains, through four ecologically diverse climates, finishing at the Colorado River.
