On the whole, visual artists (in America) get the least amount of protection of any of the creatives. Different states (usually California, because Hollywood and the music industry) have different levels of protection for different creatives, but visual artists (painters, photographers, computer-generated images) usually get screwed.The one slight quibble I would have is that it's not just copyright; you can have issues with, for example, moral rights as well. Even though they aren't protected in America (or in the different states) as much as they are abroad, they can be an issue. Finally, if you have an international audience/competition, you have to be concerned about the laws that are in place to protect artists in other places, usually the EU.</blockquote>
