Hammerskjold,
Some of what I suggested would fall under the category of juvenile.
When I made the statement about reproducing works of art a better phrase may have been "to counterfeit." rather than simple reproduction to learn techniques, etc.
Your replies did bring a smile to my face, especially that Mona Lisa bit. :D
ShadowHM,
Kudos for firing off those emails. And I would say the ROM has made an honest attempt to answer the question, even if the answer raises more questions. It's refreshing when an agency doesn't just fire off a blanket form letter that almost addresses the issue or just hits the delete key for the incoming email.
