Don’t tell me that I shouldn’t desire wealth because I create for a living. What the fuck is that?

I wish I could remember the details of this story I read in a first-year law school book ages ago. In an attempt to demonstrate to a jury how “easily” a woman could have avoided being raped, the defense attorney got a large Coke bottle, put it on the floor in front of the jury, spun it around, and demonstrated how…
At the end of the day, strict IP control and personal branding are just reflections of the fact that we gotta eat, too. I’d love to be able to do all my art for free and contribute to some higher cause for enlightening people, but that’s unfeasible.
When asked why she didn’t discuss her pneumonia diagnosis until after it became abundantly necessary to do so, she said she “didn’t think it was going to be that big a deal.”
I would have sat on the briefcase, myself.
joke’s on her then...i fell in total lurve with her during square pegs, and nothing has changed my mind since!
That’s ridiculous and it’s contrary to the purpose of intellectual property law. IP law is actually really interesting and not all that cumbersome.
Look! Side by side with images that clearly show similarities. The images in the post are not the best for this comparison. I think this is more about the package than the typography.
yep
I feel like SJP gets a lot of shit for pretty much no reason... aside from the whole “I’m not a feminist” bs.
After learning about Martin Shkreli’s hate-on for Chris Evans, I don’t think it’s humanly possible for me to be any further Team Cap.
I need a picture of the dog to determine how I feel about it.
You’re right that she did not invent doodling. But she has an established and well-regarded body of work in this style that is deeply personal and which Lane Bryant obviously pilfered.
Did you check out Martin’s work? Because those designs in the Lane Bryant ad, in the background and behind the“generic” black on white text on the t-shirt, are also stolen from Martin. It isn’t just three words, it’s a whole aesthetic that is unique to her. You can see some of that work in this photo of her
Everyone saying, “it’s just cliche words,” these faces are in the background of the words. Definitely stolen.
Why is it that there are always assholes so committed to claiming an artist’s work is too generic to be intellectual property? Lane Bryant seems to think they can make good money off of this design, or they wouldn’t have stolen it and promoted it as part of their brand.
This is a profoundly shitty take.
Exactly. They play the odds, knowing most people will never ever know or even see where and who they stole it from and that even the person speaks up, almost no mainstream or even important web media will report on it.
How about we don’t do it because it’s tasteless, tacky, embarrassing for the kid, and no one wants to see it? How about that?
