Contractual terms and conditions
Artistic professions surely make people dream and are entertainment in many people’s minds. However, while creating might seem recreational, and even a pleasure, it is none the less work, a profession for which any action has a cost.
Being an artist is a profession for which years of studies and practice make the ease of the gesture, the promptness to find the idea.
Is it needed to remind :
That the production of a creation needs an important work that can’t be reduced to some clicks of the mouse in front of a computer screen?
That the “researches and first projects” stage is the very essence of the finale?
When a private individual buys a painting, a book, a CD, a DVD… he’s the owner of the medium but not of the content, which remains the property of the author. Consequently, we can’t do as we please with it.
