Place Imagined

Fair Use

3 questions/observations:

1. It seems to come down to how popular someone's work is, or how 'new' it is considered, such as Roy Lichtenstein's work.

2. Art is way too subjective too judge the subtleties of what's fair and creative.

3. Maybe artists using little effort but making ridiculous amounts of money should pay the original artist as a sort of tribute payment. Robert Prince comes to mind.

Poverty TED Talk

http://www.ted.com/talks/hans_rosling_reveals_new_insights_on_poverty.html

Dr. Hans Rosling created a very impressive presentation of how the way we view developing countries is completely wrong, and how what we consider valuable when a country is developing is equally wrong. I found it completely fascinating, because poverty is something I have a personal connection to, and it helped to broaden my view of the economic world. Also, at the end he proves how the seemingly impossible goals of a poverty-free world are actually quite acheivable, as is anything you attempt.
