You CAN'T Fap To That

I took that as a challenge, but coming from a man that can fap to google earth, you're right.

What about the issue of fucking with another artist's work?  Would the art world approve and call me an artist if I airbrushed out the breasts and genitalia on display in many famous works?

Pretty sure the right-wing religious fanatics in this country have already beaten you to that:  Parody Example of This

I also can't help but think of the Vatican, and the room that supposedly houses all the penises the HRE/RCC priests chipped off the statues back in the Dark Ages.

The courts, or a court ruling anyway, consider it art

Of course not. That would be vandalism. If you did so with your own copies, who knows.

Unless you did it to some perpetually copyrighted image, such as Mickey Mouse.  Then you're at the mercy of whether the Mouse wants to sue you or not, fair use be damned.
