"My desire to pretend I'm a cultured intellectual for profit is more important than the privacy and explicit wishes of a dead person who trusted me."

You have no right to anyone else's private thoughts and creations.

Art exists separate from the artist. If Goya wanted to destroy it, he could have anytime while he was alive. Obviously he liked it a lot.

What, do you think his ghost is embarrassed that the world loves his secret paintings? This is some fake moralist privacy shit.

No, I'm just not an asshole who thinks I'm entitled to other people's personal things.

I guess you've never heard that "good artists borrow and great artists steal"? I think some no talent bum, who never made great art, said that.

I keep saying this in court when dealing with copyright claims but it seems like it only works for rich people to steal others ideas and profit off them
