Re: [Digital BW] Re: Signature & copyright

2003-12-20 by Truman Prevatt

As long as the copyright is on the back of the print I don't mind. 
However, I would not buy a print with a copyright notice on the front - 
even if it were matted and under the matt. I might want to change how 
the print was displayed. The image belongs to the artist, but the print 
is mine. I do like to see the artist signature under the image on the 
paper. If the print is matted I like the matt cut large enough to 
display the signature.
