Shepard Fairey, creator of Obama's famous Hope poster was sentenced today after pleading guilty to contempt of court for lying about the picture he used in the poster and for destroying evidence in a lawsuit.
He has agreed to pay the AP more than 1 million dollars, and he was sentenced to another $25K in fines, 300 hours community service, and 2 years probation.
So the creator of Hope has turned out to be a fraud and a liar, how ironic is that this election season?
That's ridiculous. I think every person that copies and pastes a picture of someone from somewhere else onto CD forum has committed just as much copyright violation as that guy. A mountain was made out of nothing here.

What? You can't take someone else's work, manipulate it and call it your own. In other words, you can't go to a website, download a picture from that site, run some Photoshop filters on it and call it your own like this guy did.

do the copy/pasters here receive a trademark and financial gain from doing this?

What are you talking about? That is exactly what happened. This guy ripped a picture off, ran it through Photoshop and called it his own.

Obviously, you are not an artist. If you were, you would understand that your art is your property and your income. For someone else to steal it and make money off that stolen image is not different than someone breaking into a warehouse and selling those goods for profit.
It's against the law. And is "something". Something called theft. The difference between that guy and the CD posters is that the CD poster didn't make money off the image. Despite the artist saying his pay was paltry, it still was money paid for an image he STOLE.
