I would find the article a whole lot more interesting if they weren't asking me to pay $220 to read it.
Does raise an interesting question though. Who controls your estate if you have no heirs? On 4/28/2014 4:24 PM, Bruce Walker wrote:
"A close reading of US copyright law indicates that none of the parties who acquired Maier’s negatives from the storage warehouse or afterward -- and are publishing them now without her written permission -- have a legal right to do so. None of the current publishers hold copyright to her negatives; that right devolves to Maier’s estate and heirs for at least 70 years from the date of her death, as per US Code Title 17 [...] The disposition of Vivian Maier’s estate, and specifically her photographic collection, raises serious questions of legal and ethical practice on the part of those who collect art, and of those who trade, publish and display it, including in galleries and museums." -- Kevin Coffee https://www.academia.edu/6320666/Misplaced_Ethics_and_the_photographs_of_Vivian_Maier -- -bmw
