Also the 'less than $500' is misleading at best. I would understand not factoring in time if it was built in a weekend, but it was two guys for 8 months.

The weird thing for me is the people are literally taking a picture of themselves committing a crime. It seems like it would be easy to bring a case against someone doing this?
Re:Tesla co-founder and CTO JB Straubel stepping down

I know in France, there was a "solidarity tax on wealth" which was a yearly tax on assets over 1.3million euros. Artwork was exempt from this. This changed in the end of last year and I think it's just based on real estate now.
