I purchased Wesselmann prints from Karla Mackay many years ago before the divorce. I hope Tom Wesslemann got paid…he is a wonderful artist.

Are there records of purchases by dealers that can be accessed. I also bought from Charles Foley, Columbus, Ohio a Wesselmann and need to have the purchase documented for the provenance. Teresa DeChant 216 276 0086

Court’s may allow for the poor man’s copyright by accepting the sealed envelopes into evidence (assuming the law of evidence in a particular jurisdiction allows for it). So in a sense, the court does allow for the poor man’s copyright.

The question is then, once admitted into evidence, how compelling is evidence of something being mailed to yourself? How persuasive is this evidence? The answer is that this evidence is worth very little. This is problematic because there are still people out there who think that once they mail a work to themselves they are protected from infringement, which is not the case.

If this is the Mike Cho I think it is, email me at vincemanapat@gmail.com and let me know what you’re up to.

Just bored at work and perusing through sites and I find this… Your example shows how someone got caught. Isn’t that evidence for allowing such
‘poor man’ copyright protocol?

Hope you’re doing well, man.
