Arts & Humanities - 16 November 2006

When it comes to art, the UK patent office website says:

"The creator of the work will be the author and first owner and copyright will last for life of the author plus 70 years.

Copyright is, however, a form of intellectual property which, like physical property, can be bought or sold, inherited or otherwise transferred, wholly or in part. So, some or all of the economic rights may subsequently belong to someone other than the first owner."

For the artists I've mentioned and those like them, the 70 year rule has expired but has anyone else taken over the copyright of their works?

I've seen numerous prints of paintings by these artists, as well as books, t-shirts, mugs etc that are based on one or more paintings of those I've mentioned, all available to buy in various shops and on-line.

Did the people selling these products have to ask for permission to use them commercially or are the works of these artists available to the public to be used by anyone in any way?

I'm researching my family tree and come to a block and wondering if anyone in the Cardiff area could help. I'm trying to find a Great Aunt of mine and/or her children. Her maiden name was Cora Lewis and she'll be about late 70's/early 80's. She was married twice, her first married name was Bridgeman (husband was Ken Bridgeman) and she had a few children, off the top of my head the names are, Denise, Kenny & David. There may have been one or 2 more.

Cora then divorced and remarried, the second husband was either killed or died in Cardiff. I don't know his name. I have no idea if Cora married again, went back to her maiden name or kept the married name of the 2nd husband.

Does anyone know any of the Bridgemans or Cora herself? They were all last known in the Cardiff area. I've tried papers, Internet searches, everything but nothing. I don't think they would have moved far from Cardiff as all the family apart from me has remained in the Cardiff areas.

At its inception it was postulated that uninformed questioners would post their questions and get creative answers from informed answerers. Although this was and is still sometimes the case, more often than not it seems many questions are more creative than the answers. Beyond that consideration, even assuming answers are of great value, what would those who answer be left with if the questioners went on strike and stopped asking questions? I'm asking this question in a moment of anger because, having just asked another question, Y!A flashed a warning signal that I had lost 5 points. Well thanks Y!A. I wasn't seeking advice or information, I was just challenging those who prefer answering questions to asking them. Why charge me for that?

And yes, this is a philosophical question, the more general form of which goes something like, "Which is of greater value, questions or answers?"

I want to know its name in English. I know, of course, in Portuguese (which is my L1).

Could you, tell me its name?

It's a movie totally inspired on the The Turning Point of Fritjof Capra author.

Tnx in antecipation,
