And you can be assured that if someone is having their art bootlegged in Chinatown then they probably don't need the money and/or the amount that one would profit from the venture is so small that it would be rather absurd. The vast majority of people — I'm almost willing to say everyone — who take photos do so for their enjoyment and for documentation. I, for instance, take them so that I can write about them another time. Increasingly, creative people are realizing that allowing people to reproduce their work actually increases their value, and not the other way around. Also, the issue of artists who use appropriated images is doubly ironic. Why can they swipe images and remix them while others can't? You can see what happened to record labels and publishers when institutions are blind to change. You can be sure that the same will eventually happen to institutions in the art world that refuse to adapt to the times. That’s a rather cynical take on those who take photos of art.

Haven't you bought crap on the streets of China Town, knowing full well it is a copy and a bad one of some movie you hadn't seen in theatres yet? The same with art. The policy is protectionist because the ownership belongs to the artist. So far as I know, artists need this protection. So get permission when they lay down the law, it will eliminate bad vibes and further hassles.
