Have you ever downloaded and image and frame it?

No prints exist and the artist is not interested in selling prints. Have you ever downloaded the image which the artist uploaded onto a public site and had it printed out and framed for your own collection? This is not about selling multiple prints just printing a single copy for yourself?

Nope, but I'll admit the thought has crossed my mind. But then:

If this is the reason, I see nothing wrong with it. My main concern would be finding an image file of a high enough quality to blow up, print and frame.

Yes I have done it....

This is right there with pirating DVDs and music.

Is it really? If it's already on a public site, I think it's different.

I feel like "pirating" implies on a large scale and for sale illegally. This to me is no different than downloading an image unofficially and using it as wallpaper on your computer, it's for personal use and no one is profiting from it.

Only if the original "owner" of the piece posted it then I would agree.

Hardly as the studio has not uploaded the movie onto the internet. I am referring to where an artist himself/herself has uploaded on image onto the internet on a site for feedback. The image is pretty high quality.

You could ask the artist if it's ok and then you'd be golden

I don't think he/she would object especially since they don't plan on producing prints.
