Fine if the artist is open to taking pics with fans, but if they're not then that's their business.

No. You're the one who's refusing to accept that he's wrong. Autograph-hunting is harmless, and almost without exception done with the agreement/consent of the hunted. Paparazzi on the other hand are scum. There is no corellation between the two, other than, as I allowed, they are both part of the cult of personality. But there's a world of difference between the two.
The thing is, you can certainly link the two, but to suggest essentially that autograph hunting can be equated with scumbag journalism is stretching it way way too tight.
Oh, and people don't "demand" autographs, they request them.
