'Stolen' Image

[.Roockley.]

saw this, and saw the CR thread with this guy kicking up a fuss. surely copyright and all, as long as it isn't be sold on for profit he can have no qualms about this? it's a memorial hoody made by someone as a one off. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150700142541060&set=a.10150413935716060.413843.262556826059&type=1

I'm not sure if it was fox or what brand. When i used to bmx all the time like 10 years ago i was up on everything in that world.

anyway they got sued because they made a thshirt that was sort of kind of loosely based off of something else from the past. they got sued for it and had to give all the profit $ money to the people. Which nobody bought the shirt because it kinda sorta looked like it might be a take off of something, they bought it to support the bmx brand

At the same time, all they had to do was ask first. I can see how hed be bummed.

How much do you think this girl is making off of a single sweatshirt she made for herself as a tribute piece to a beloved past skier? Ballpark

 

[Benji.]

wait did she make it for herself?

 

[theabortionator]

Exactly.

It doesn't matter what the scale is, a stolen image is a stolen image. No amount of sentiment will wash away the fact that whoever printed that is a thief. Ask first before you help yourself to someone else's work.
