[MR] art work copyrights

[Becky McEllistrem]

When a scribe creates a scroll, they then give it as a gift to someone.  The scribe can still then repro the same art work for someone else.  It's not the recipient's copyright.

Same as when you buy a painting in a modern art gallery.

Most scribes don't repro since it gets very boring after a while and the fun of scribing is typically finding the new challenge.

Thankfully this scribe has been found and it may be that she has a copy in her portfolio which would also be helpful to her case.  

The benefit of scribing for SCA is often the artwork is presented in court where dozens of people saw it which could help any modern court case.  Having a copy in a portfolio would be a nice thing but isn't always there.  It might be in this case.
