the end of photo collage?

Are copy right laws blocking artistic expression and visual communication? Or protecting artworks of being abused, artists missing out on income? So where does this leave collage, visual reference and visual dialogue? Where does this leave the position of the artist wanting to comment on and with cultural and visual iconography?

Where online we are encouraged to co/re-publish every bit of communication by sending on articles and clips, is this law in contradiction with the spirit of this age?
