What an asinine argument. So as a painter of very famous painting, which i dont want to sell posters of, any boob can take a picture, recreate my painting and sell thousands of posters of my paintings without my permission and without paying me?

Copyright law has plenty of warts, but you present a claim nowhere near a disputed area
