This very thing has been resolved in the world of FINE ART and SCULPTURE, royalties have been paid to artist's estates through the re-sale of works. Also, more importantly, I recall a specific case in Toronto, (Ontario Canada), whereby an artist was comissioned to create a sculpture for the EATON'S CENTRE (that is a huge mall downtown, if you weren't aware). Since the Artist was paid for the work, the corperate owners decided to decorate the mall for CHRISTMAS (none of this 'festive season' stuff here). They decided to place decorate bows and ribbons around the necks of the Canada Geese that are the mobile type artistic installation in the mall. Long Story short, the Artist sued the corperation for tampering, and won. the ribbons were removed promptly.
