I have seen the background of this image somewhere....and the original artist isn't this guy.
This, in no uncertain terms, constitutes art theft. You know, copyright infringement? This coming from a guy (I use that term rather loosely) who professes over and over to be on the right side of the law and always plays by the deviantART rules. While we're on the subject let's review a couple of his "personal works" and see just how law abiding he actually is:
Stomping Grounds looks awfully familiar....because he stole the images directly from Google Maps.
The little dipstick goes on to steal other items...some obvious, some not so obvious.
C'mon, do you really think he traveled to Malaysia and took that background shot himself?
California is a long way from Virginia, but it's very (extremely) unlikely that he stopped in the Bad Lands of the Dakotas to take a few snapshots for his scrapbook.
Personally, I've actually been to Finland and Norway around Christmas time...cold as all hell, beautiful countryside, really friendly people....but you don't see many of these rolling around.
Ummm....I'm not sure where he was going with this one, probably the whole Saint Shego thing, but she obviously wasn't headed to Disneyland or Disney World.
So, the next time you hear him spouting off that usual "oh woe is me, poor lil' picked on me...I always play by the rules" nonesense, two simple words should come to mind:
ART THEFT
Yeah, his usual lack of consistency when it's about looking at his own flaws. DA seems to be tolerant with jerks like him, while has been more than strict with you.
ReplyDeleteMore than thief, a retarded intolerant.
