I really do agree with this and it's sad that it is the inevitablity of every new online market.
I used to sell some of my prints and one offs and little sketches on ebay. IT was a fun way to take some of my studies or smaller works and find homes for them and the earnings were a good sort of 'side business'. I haven't done that in years though.
I'm not sure where we are headed in this ever increasing digital world but I suppose we shall just have to wait to see what comes to pass.
