Therefore, the original artist is more likely to become aware of the work. I do not believe, however, that it is possible to say that the motives are purely financial or even selfish. It is a very subjective factor, which depends on each claimant. <br /><br />In terms of valuing the work, many argue that it is, again, completely subjective, and, therefore, very difficult and not a task for the court. On the other hand, valuation requires reason and objectivity, which one of the primary purposes of the courts. <br /><br />These are my initial thoughts. I'd welcome others.

Are the motives purely financial?<br />Although I am not sure that the court is in a position to decide the artistic value of an artwork and that should be the main criterion.
