CMOA took teenie’s artwork without his permission. Not to mention putting i behind the white CMOA paywall. Place is garbage.

I'm sorry you feel that way, Unfortunately I believe that is simply not true. The entire collection is available for free and can be seen here. (Link) No paywall at all.

In addition, several family members have messaged me and commented on prior posts stating that they enjoy the uploads. The reason I upload these photos along with others about Pittsburgh History, is the large volume of photographs. There are close to 100,000 individual pieces in the archives available for people to see. I have fun posting the pictures as they are our history.

Looking at something online is different than in person. You ever seen a rothko online?

Are you under the impression that you could wander in somewhere and look at all these photographs in person prior to CMOA purchasing the collection?

Obviously, because they purchased the collection from his estate after his death. Dead men cannot give permission.
