Summary:

"Digital technology, the Internet and social media have put a strain on Culture’s guardians. One of the most debated issues has been that of open access to collections, that is, the free, immediate, online availability of high resolution images of museum objects, as well as the unrestricted use, at no cost, of images of objects in the public domain – which means that these images belong to everyone and that the museum that holds them in trust does not have the right to condition their use."
