I noticed in various contributions, that many artists (''artists'' perhaps ?) are using large number of other's people works, taken from newspapers, magazines, books,etc. That could inflict the copyrights. In many cases, nobody will discuss it, and no legal matters will arise. Still, I think it is not artistic to use so many of non-original work/s in your own work. I don't want to point my finger to any particular person, but I am sure it is wrong way to make something ''new'' or ''original''and to call it your own work. It is fine to source inspiration from others, but it is just totally opposite to blatantly take others works and make ''collages'' or whatever one could call such works. I also noticed there is not so much of original works, seems it is just easier to ''cut and paste'' or cut out and stick, than to draw or make your own work with your own hands and brains.

one point: 'copyright' is a law. in the context of art (and most others) I dont care about the law

Entiendo tu preocupación por el respeto a los derechos de autor, pero creo que hay una gran confusión con respecto a la naturaleza del collage y su historia, que ha sido una parte esencial del arte postal durante más de un siglo."

El uso de material impreso —como recortes de periódicos, revistas o libros— no es simplemente «cortar y pegar sin pudor», sino más bien un proceso de resignificación. Desde que los movimientos de vanguardia (como el dadaísmo o el cubismo) introdujeron los papiers collés , el uso de imágenes preexistentes se ha convertido en una herramienta legítima para crear un discurso nuevo, crítico y visualmente independiente de su contexto original.

En el arte postal, el collage analógico es un lenguaje de intercambio libre, abierto y directo que dialoga precisamente con la cultura de masas y el medio impreso. Transformar, yuxtaponer y dar una vida completamente nueva a fragmentos de papel requiere tanta inteligencia, visión estética y trabajo manual como la pintura tradicional. No se trata de suplantar la autoría de otro, sino de construir una obra de arte totalmente nueva a partir de fragmentos de nuestro propio entorno visual.
