Re: [digital-copyright] Re: Reproducing visual art

Another option is to locate a source offering affordable prints. Museum
stores, such as http://shop.thedali.org/browse.cfm/matted-prints/2,23.html for
example, offer prints. Section 109 entitles the owner to distribute them
freely, but at $12 and up, it may be more than the budget would allow.

I really appreciate the discussions I read on this list! And so I'm hoping the
collective wisdom can help me with my question:

be referencing a Dali painting, and would like to distribute mini copies to
audience members in the programs. I assume this is something we need
permission to do, but am getting push back, so I'm asking for a second
opinion.

done? How do you find the rights holder for a work of art? Where do you find a
copy you can reproduce?

possible in the venue being used.
