If I paint a painting, and later on someone cuts in in quarters and sells them to four people, did I really paint four paintings? Your question is very philisophical, which means that not only do I not have a clear answer to it, but there may not be a "clear" answer to it, only vague answers and clear effects of the situation. For example, if it went to court, it may not matter whether it's now one work or two, they may decide one way or another without resolving that actual issue. -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
