Hi Deborah

If you *could* communicate with him, what would you tell this guy? What do *you* think the consequences are? What do you think the consequences should be? Does it make a difference if the art is stolen from the internet versus a store? What about a museum? If he stole some of your art, how would you feel? What do you think should be done in that case?

Yours,
