Or maybe something truly drastic, like having the software
of previous console generations released into the
public domain (or at least eliminating the
potential legal repercussions
of software emulation?)
But in a sense, it was a partnership with the BBC that so prominently pushed the project into the
public domain: the Your Paintings website, which was hosted by bbc.co.uk and which has now been superseded by artuk.org, showed the imaginative
potential of such a
public catalogue for curators, art professionals, and above all the wider
public.
