So if someone creates a piece of art and I take a photo of it and sell the photo, or create prints of it, or even just give it give that photo to lots of people, what is that?

Who cares? The point is, it’s not theft. The person who had the art still has the art, so it’s not theft.

That is an assumption made that the artist still has the original thing that was not paid for. I understand what you’re being pedantic about. I just don’t think you’re right.

What part of that statement suggests that the artist no longer has the original art? As stated, no theft occurred.
