Every work numbered and on record, so a copy, a derivative or a claim is answered with proof.
An artwork carries its history with it. Who made it, when, from what, how many editions, who bought it, where it was shown. The market and the courts both care about that history, and both punish gaps.
AI models trained on artists' visual language add a new layer to the problem. Style copying is not always illegal, but it is always answerable if the artist can show a clean record of authorship and terms.
