New Zealand is considering adopting a law to give an artist a share of the sales price when per work is resold. This raises a number of moral issues.

New Zealand's proposed law it applies only to works that sell for more than a thousand dollars. I would not begrudge 50 out of that for the artist. As a practical matter, I'd be content with this law.

However, it is being presented as "intellectual property" and used to boost the public's respect for that confused over generalization.
