Again, my argument doesn't retain to anything related to engineering and the like (eg. aviation software or an entire aircraft). I'm talking about stylized artwork for the sake of art... I'm saying very specific characters and such that would only be [legally] bought in the future purely as an investment, not to iterate or improve upon because the new owners are so passionate about any sort of paintings/drawings/etc.
