New Zealand canned the scheme before it got going, The UK is the only common law country in the whole world to have adopted a compulsory retrospective monopoly right . The UK will remain a oddity.johnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561642481755412634.post-8893882734690539122010-11-01T09:35:29.290-02:302010-11-01T09:35:29.290-02:30Mark,

The sale must take place in California or be a associated with a seller who is a resident of California. The artist must be a US citizen or a resident of California. The glitch in California is that the seller is responsible for locating the artist to pay the fee. If the artist can't be found in 90 days the fee is given to the California Arts Council which collects and distributes fees within 7 years of the sale. If the artist can't be found in that time the money is reallocated for art in public places. <br /><br />Over 59 countries have resale right and if your work is sold in any country that does and you live in a country that also has resale right you will receive your fee. The gap is closing.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12726740154167156916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561642481755412634.post-65385066930021513822010-10-29T16:40:32.904-02:302010-10-29T16:40:32.904-02:30Yes I noticed our legislation when it happened.

If any artists work is resold by an important seller or major auction house (eBay won't count) and over a certain price (from memory it was in the thousands) then the artist would get a percentage.<br /><br />Fair I think. It's a pity that laws like this can't be international because it would be all too easy for a (probably rich) seller to fly to another country to avoid paying the artist.Mark Sheekyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00710485457283053795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561642481755412634.post-31995493640584326252010-10-28T23:00:45.957-02:302010-10-28T23:00:45.957-02:30Wonderful!
