Mark, I wasn’t proposing that part in my question. If I had I would have
brought up copyright. I am simply asking , is it right to get a steal of a deal
to the tune of $200 million dollar? You come down on the side of , Well Sure
and thank you very much without any thought of the mental capacity of the
seller. No moral obligation to prevent someone from giving away the family
farm? Now I don’t know how the glass negs came into the possession of the
seller, but lets just assume through a legitimate process.

Well a few things Eric. First of all it is up to the seller to know what they
are selling and do the research necessary to make sure they are getting a fair
price. It is up to the buyer to know what they are paying for with their hard
earned money.
As long as the seller didn't knowing mislead the buyer, and the buyer paid the
agreed price, then I see no problem with this deal. Now if the seller
misrepresented the item, or the buyer didn't pay, you have a big problem.
Now here is the question that I bet you haven't thought about. He bought a
glass plate/negative, but did he buy the copyright??? Hmmm Copyright is life
of the author plus 75 years I think (others please correct me) so regardless of
how the person he bought them from came into them, he may not be able to do
anything with them without the expressed written consent of the Ansel Adams
estate or who ever he put in charge of his work. Unless there was paperwork to
transfer copyright, he has some really wonderful glass plates that I bet some
wonderful prints could grace your living room walls, but nothing else.

Well, here is an ethical question then. Does the guy that owned them and
sold them for a fraction of what they're worth deserve a piece of what ever
comes from the net sales? They did take care of them for some time. And
while they ultimately gave them away, should they be shut out of that
economic pie? Just bad luck, ignorance, etc? At what point do we look out
for that kind of problem, if we would agree that teaching special needs
people is a good thing? Lack of economic values, scruples, what ever you
want to call it, was it just good luck for one, and bad luck for someone
else? Some of you are in the business of selling your photographs.
As pure silver, in the context of art, this is a very valid question. As a
guy working in a darkroom making prints, I can see where this has no place
in your life. Choose to respond or not. For those that want to get bent out
of shape, find your delete key now and kiss my ................... or just
reply off list.
