Oh wait, people would think you're being conservative with both little and capital C's. So scrap that idea.

The response has equated to the high school nerd committee finally being given the opportunity to whale on a jock.

I consider it justified. He didn't just make unlicensed reference to a copyrighted intellectual property as some webcomickers have done. (Although, it has been alleged that he <I>also</I> did that, with an Absolut Slut T-shirt.) His <I>design</I> plagiarism assaulted the idea that originality of design has value.<BR/><BR/>You're one of the most original designers on these here interweb pipes.

But if someone paints a slightly wobbly copy of the Sgt Pepper album cover, should they give all the money to Peter Blake? <BR/><BR/>Of course I recognise the difference between those two examples.<BR/><BR/>My beef is not with the crime itself - it's with the disproportionate hysteria that seemed to come as part and parcel of the response. To the outsider, suddenly it's one man versus a howling "community". It has achieved the seemingly impossible and made Goldman look like the David rather than Goliath.John Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14630706251547357904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13005893.post-87703029347505894532007-04-20T15:50:00.000+00:002007-04-20T15:50:00.000+00:00Maybe some of the shrillness should be tempered, b...Maybe some of the shrillness should be tempered, but I agree with Tim above that it's one thing to take something iconofied in pop culture and make a funny shirt, and another to *trace* an entire piece of art nearly exactly.Virtualbrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10766564200762381270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13005893.post-1390107358371504882007-04-20T15:31:00.000+00:002007-04-20T15:31:00.000+00:00Good Point.I think the main beef here was the exac...Good Point.<BR/><BR/>I think the main beef here was the exactness of the copy. Variations on a theme can be snarled at, but it's like yelling into the storm.
