<p>[QUOTE=&quot;smallaxe, post: 2801484, member: 13430&quot;]I don&#039;t know about this personally, it&#039;s just something I heard about, and I wondered how things that are legal, but unethical are treated when resold. In the US, it&#039;s legal to copy Rodin sculptures or any other sculpture whose copyright has expired. It&#039;s illegal to sell it as an original (fraud). But legal to sell as a copy. As an example, probably 99% of the Remington bronzes out there are reproductions. But I don&#039;t see jails full of the people making them or selling them. If you look on auction sites, there are sales of Rodin bronzes that say &quot;after Rodin&quot;, and other things that indicate they&#039;re not original.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was just wondering if it was common for people to make private one-off copies of valuable works, and how a one-off copy like that would be treated when the person dies, and they start changing hands.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m kind of sorry I asked the question. It&#039;s just an area of interest to me since I think understanding copies/reproductions is pretty important, since those made to deceive are a scourge. I think folks have somehow taken my questions as a defense of reproductions. That&#039;s definitely not the case.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
