I think everyone is probably a bit tired of this topic so this will be my last response.
You keep positing that someone is espousing that the museums have to actively participate
in providing copies of something to someone.? Has somebody claimed that?? If they did, it
wasn't me.? I have never claimed, and wouldn't claim, under any sort of copyright
issue, that the holder of anything is required to do anything at all.? Or has any
obligation, legal or moral to do anything.? The "doing" on their part is an
active participation and I've never claimed that the museum has to be active in any
regard in this issue.
What I have claimed is that the purported claimant, cannot stop a seizure.? If I take,
without permission, without asking, without requiring anything from you.? Just take, you
cannot claim that I've in violation of some perceived copyright.? That is quite
different from stating that they must provide the material to anyone, or are required to,
or should feel required to.
