   Morality has nothing to do with it. No "artist" is morally obliged to   
   retain any specific version of his artwork when and if he has   
   subsequently changed it in a way he may or may not prefer more than   
   the version as specifici subset of the public prefers.   
      
   As part of this subset of the public, you have the power not to buy   
   the version the artist want to sell, but your power over his decisions   
   stops there.
