Let's think about this a bit differently. How about a story like this. There is a guy named Fred who has paperwork that says he owns the Mona Lisa painting, but he let's the Louvre display it for him as it is too much trouble to keep the painting at his house. And in an unfortunate accident while the Mona Lisa was out for cleaning one day the truck that it was in catches on fire and the painting becomes a pile of ashes and Fred collects the insurance money. Somehow Fred managed to keep the paperwork that says he owns the Mona Lisa painting and goes out and buys a copy of the Sports Illustrated magazine Swim Suit edition. He cuts out one of the pages of an attractive young woman and has it framed. Then he takes a magic marker and forges Michael Angelo's signature in bottom corner. He then declares that his framed picture of the girl in the bikini is the Mona Lisa based on his paperwork. In a real estate deal Fred gives the Mona Lisa paperwork and the picture of the bikini girl to some guy named DavyZ. DavyZ not being familiar with the Mona Lisa does not realize that it should not be a girl wearing a bikini, but manages to sell the paperwork and the new "Mona Lisa" for $20 million Euro to some art museum in China that is also unfamiliar with the Mona Lisa. After a while the Chinese art museum realizes that the picture is not really the Mona Lisa. They have some irrelevant paperwork for a painting that no longer exists and an unrelated picture of a girl in a bikini. Further the museum does not even have proof that they own the picture of the girl in the bikini. Don't you think the museum is going to get its lawyers to sue DavyZ and try to get him thrown in jail?
