[Mike]

Wow! What a find!

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) - A trove of old glass negatives bought at a garage sale for $45 have been authenticated as the lost work of famed nature photographer Ansel Adams and are worth at least $200 million, an attorney for the owner said Tuesday.
A team of experts concluded after an exhaustive, six-month examination that the 65 negatives are Adams' early work, which were believed to have been destroyed in a 1937 fire at his Yosemite National Park studio, Arnold Peter said.

On what grounds?

This is who need grounds. What about the estate of Adams and the right to print them, think that is where the big problem will come from.

Unjust enrichment, I would take the case in a minute here and settle it in a few months and get my client some big bucks, if you want me to go into legal detail I will, no way no how will this purchaser take it all...............

I would go underground then... 20MM on the black market and I'd be set.

Until they found it and you would pay thirty six percent this year thirty nine next year, or maybe a little less if you could claim a capital gain................either way, good find, but you are screwed.

It doesn't seem like this is posturing to recover or claim Adam's intellectual property.
