The video footage published by Wilson includes a timestamp that notes it was actually taken on September 29, about a week after the program opened up.
Wilson said to ARTnews in an e-mail that there was currently an authorities investigation into the fraud. "I'm actually rather entertained due to the footage due to the fact that it thinks that an art work on its own," he composed.
He highlighted the manner ins which the fraud was ironic, mentioning that Google has on its own been implicated of duplicating manuals without consent. (In 2013, a case focused all around only that was actually rejected by a New York judge given that "society perks" coming from having these texts created quicker accessible.).
Talked to if he possessed any ideas regarding why the work was taken, Wilson said, "As you understand it's difficult to market a stolen art work, so I envision this male either desires it for himself or even has a personal grudge versus me, the organization, or what the job embodies.".
