one more point--the originals in visual arts are more important than in other arts. Let's say you have a new bach fugue, hot off the press. every couple of decades, as the paper got old, you rewrote the fugue on new paper and destroyed the old copy. if you were careful, the boston philharmonic would still be able to play the piece exactly as written by bach.
if you were to take the mona lisa, hire an artist to reproduce it exactly every couple of decades, and then destroy the old copy, where would you be? that's why originals in the visual arts are more esteemed than originals in other media.
