Why should you even be able keep any creative control over it after it is no longer your property? You created it yes, but as an artist you sold it to the highest bidder or gave it away to a friend(which I can agree would give you say). I just don't like the idea of not having full ownership of something if you to buy it from the creator. Copyright laws are a headache, but again why should a person who sold the art retain any control after they sold the original. Don't get me wrong I love flounders art and like the idea of getting something back for what you put into it (emotional, monetary, celebrity,ect...). Just my interpertation of things over a cup of coffee.
