That's how I see it.
For instance, if you buy some art, do you have to get the artist's permission for their art to be on TV if you happen to do a news segment or reality show in your home? Copyright, IMO, in this instance, should only stop the person from reproducing the image, not from showing it on tv. I think the tattoo artist can hold the copyright to the artwork, but can't control who sees the tattoos s/he produces or who copies them (kind of like clothing).
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
