8. I want to note that

the photos of art I post here are low-resolution and not suitable for reproduction. Nothing we post here is high resolution.

The artists I spoke to said that on their sites they post low-resolution photos without watermarks. The gist is, nothing I've posted here is any better quality than what artists themselves post on their sites, unless they happen to be watermarking. I'll add that my local newspaper published online photos of art from that show, and they reach a lot more eyes than does DU.

Maybe there was an obscure French law that doesn't require posting warnings in order to be enforced. "Ignorance of the law is no excuse" might apply. There are all kinds of regional proprietary laws in the European Union. To be labled Champagne the wine must come from or near the region of Champagne; in Italy, Parmigiano-Reggiano and Pecorino Romano come to mind.
