  1. 🎨✨ Mondrian's art is now a free-for-all, yet the Estate clutches its pearls, screeching about mysterious 'dual copyrights' and Spanish voodoo law. Clearly, no one explained to them that public domain is not a suggestion. 🚫📜 #ArtisticHoarders

  9. Finally: I see reporting that says that the items stolen from the BM are possibly worth "tens of millions of pounds". I find that to be unlikely:

    1. Most Roman etc gems on the market are in the few thousand range. Just because a gem is in the BM doesn't mean it is valuable.

    2. A piece stolen from a museum has an actual value of zero. NO ONE wants to buy something stolen from a museum. They only have value if the BM is the one selling them.
