Hey Nij, long time no see, er, read ;-)

This brings up another issue...  Sometimes fine art is in fact duplicated,
and the original stored away, and the duplicate is displayed.  I believe,
whether the law is with me on this or not, one has a right to protect one's
investments, such as software backup...and that as long as both the
duplicate, and the original, are not displayed (used) at the same time, this
should be something that is "allowed".
