THANKS, I 'M BURNING THE MIDNIGHT OIL TO GET IT GOING. IT STARTS TOMORROW EVENING ABOUT 5:00 CST. UPDATE: Natasha writes: 'I just checked my mailbox again and got this reply from Joan Greene, the Director:' So you may want to keep checking that site and contact the email address on that page or the phone number to when exactly they will post the items for sale on eBay.' Her calls to the Fire Sale coordinator got a busy signal. Reader Natasha contacted eBay and got this reply: 'It should be on the eBay site but we have not been given any information on the user ID or the item numbers yet. You know that ' Great Chicago Fire Sale' city memorabilia auction that was supposed to start today? There's no sign of it on eBay. Read a scanned copy of the Reader article here: Part 1, Part 2. but the artists aren't seeing any money from the city from these permits.

So, to sum up: the city wants to make money off of images of the park (which is completely public property), so they're harrassing photographers in the park who look like professionals (i.e., they use a tripod) and scaring them into buying photography permits by saying that only the artists own the copyrights to the sculptures. If someone's in direct competition, we'll go after them.' A representative for one of the artists is quoted as saying, 'If security guards give the impression that they are protecting artists' rights, it's probably a lack of understanding.' Then whose rights are the city protecting? Apparently, its own right to sell Millennium Park postcards, as city official Ed Uhlir explains in the article: 'We're going to have postcards in production, and we intend to sell them where postcards are sold. Update: In response to BoingBoing's query about why the press director is saying that the sculptures' artists still own the copyright, Joravsky says this is true, but that the artists aren't getting any money from the permits that the city is trying to sell to photographers. How can the city claim copyright on publicly owned statues in a publicly owned park? Oh, I'm sure they'll find some way.) (BTW, even though the park was paid for by private funds, Ben Joravsky notes that the private donors then gave the artwork to the city, so the park is now owned by the public. The business about the security guards claiming that the whole park was copyrighted? Apparently it's a result of some overly zealous legal language given to security guards to hand out to commercial photographers who want to sell Millennium Park images.

The city has a license agreement with the artists to be the sole authorized seller of merchandise with Millennium Park images, and that's why they've been targeting professional photographers in the park and stores trying to sell notecards with Bean images on them.
