Fine Individuation says it is impossible for distinct people who are not collaborating on a work of art to produce one and same artwork. This is an intra-world thesis, but is necessarily true, if true at all.

Both theses have been vigorously defended. I argue here that both are false, but for reasons that are entirely novel
