One of the craziest elements, not least that many UK museums own none of the core rights they claim *and openly sell items with illegal terms and conditions tacked on I kid you not* is how this damages discourse and exploration of new narratives.
So as a result other image libraries and more copyright accessible generi-material is used by the tanker load, whereas the correct material is never utilised.
Myths continue their cold dead grasp on our remarkable shared heritage and god forbid you want to write on a new topic.

Few historians discuss the structural violence inherent in the system as it's such a bloody headache to navigate and has only continued to get worse in the UK, whereas the historic images situation markedly improves in the US and Europe.
