I dunno, I prefer the Warhol over the original. Should art like this not exist or be heavily discouraged or controlled by licensing fees? Copyright seems to be stuck in a scarcity mindset. Especially for static images whose market far exceeds the ability of artists to keep up with. The bigger problem seems to me that artists still don’t have a great way to sell directly to their customers.

You need to consider the affect on the original as well though. Without copyright would Lynn Goldsmith have ever taken the original photo? They have a degree in Psychology, in a world without copyright protections why would she pursue photography and filmography rather than becoming a professional psychologist?

Sure she'd probably still own a camera as a hobby, but would she have taken weeks to follow touring bands?
