In L.A. Times, story of 2 painters whose work was fraudulently copied
and sold on Princess (and elsewhere on land, but that was the only
cruise line mentioned.)
Artists Charlene Mitchell and John O'Brien are the artists in question.
Princess will take them back, if you've bought one.

--"Meanwhile, Princess Cruise Lines spokeswoman Julie Benson said via
e-mail that Princess bought the prints "in good faith, believing them
to be properly authorized."
"If these allegations are true," she wrote, "Princess was victimized,
as were the artists in question." She added that the company would
"accept any art returned by dissatisfied customers."
In a legal document submitted in response to a suit filed by Mitchell,
Princess lawyer Brooke Oliver said the cruise line may not have made
any money at all because of costs associated with framing, shipping,
storage and insurance. And she contended that distribution of the fakes
"has enhanced plaintiff's prestige and reputation and the value of her
artwork."
