In total agreement, but then that's the medium that the artwork was meant to be viewed on, so it's almost a necessity.
Watching a cookery programme may show you how to create a culinary masterpiece but seeing the dish at the end isn't the same as being there and smelling the aroma and tasting it. A much more fulfilling experience.
Thanks to webcams, we'll be able to take tours around the Louvre but it will never replace actually going there and seeing the colours and textures in person.
As it stands, people still go on safari tours in Kenya even though the can see photos in books or watch wildlife docs on the t.v.
There was never any question in my mind that this type of 'information' seeking would be replaced.
The issue here is making sure that people can access it and safely, without helping to bring the WWW to it's knees.
