Jon La BreaGeorge, my question is who defines what is artistic and what is not and while this can hit the consumer, I believe the target is corporations who may make money from the photograph. What do you think?

George CatalinThe target could be every big company, but the average person will suffer the consequences too. I think they will set some body of experts to evaluate what is and what is not art. Not so funny. We will see.

Zoe BollingerAccording to 2011 data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics the average monthly salary in the US is $3,769. So it would still be a huge cost for an individual, but not as extreme as the gap in Romania.

George CatalinI do not know what to say. The problem is that for example in my country of origin, Romania, most of the patents owned by individuals are done over a long period of time and self sacrifice, and many of their brilliant projects will never see mass production because of the costs. The alternative is to sell it to a conglomerate or very big company. I have a fair idea on the subject because my secondary field of research is genius and talented individuals, especially genius and gifted children. And i have a tangential aproach to inventions and patents because of this.

Zoe BollingerYour research sounds fascinating George. It would be interesting to explore the best ways to support individual innovation, and how to help take those products to market. A more supportive system would certainly have economic benefits far beyond the individual who received assistance.
