So we have a robust market and an unfairness, and fixing the unfairness by passing this bill would not appear either theoretically or from experience over the last 20, 30 years to harm that market in any way?

Are the big auction houses doing okay in the art market and sales abroad where they have the resale rights?

Not everyone is big enough to retain counsel to fight infringement or a lobbyist to ensure their rights are protected as much as the 'big guy.'

To date, Congress has failed to adopt a resale royalty right, a right which would grant visual artists a percentage of the proceeds each time their work is resold.

This means that the artist receives no part of the long-term financial success of the work.

Because we do not provide this right, American artists are prevented from recovering any royalties generated from the resale of their works in countries that have resale rights.

So the harms that were predicted did not occur?

Everyone's testimony supports a creation of a Federal civil cause of action. Does anyone know of anyone who opposes that?

doing so would be a major mistake.
