I disagree. I think the priority is to have the full resolution pictures of Public Domain works. Because this is what the French copyright law is saying. There is no need to negociate anything. There is no need to change a single word from the current French copyright law. Simply have the French government's cultural institutions (museums, archives) recognize that they have been wrong until now, by adding copyright notices on Public Domain works (in France: non-poshumous works whose authors have been dead for more than 70 years).
[...]
Negociating small size pictures could be only a lower level priority concerning truely copyrighted works when the artists are still alive and need money to buy their bread.
Oh yeah, we need people to push in all directions at once at all strengths at once.
