Recognise? Acknowledge?

Textures of a village stone mason workshop. Most of his work for head stones, but the odd clock mount and homage to Ho Chi Minh. Obvious pride in his work, including his carving of a topless flute player. Obvious level of skill shown in the detail of his work based on, um, close examination of his topless flute player.

With more of what is being produced and consumed being or becoming digital how do consumers (or peers) recognise and acknowledge the skills of digital craftsmen and women? With the tools to publish, and easily re-publish work from others what is a suitable level of acknowledgment to associate what is produced with what is reproduced?
