The copyright laws are so ambiguous that people who have bought stock images who cannot produce proof of payment (because it was purchased 10 years ago or more)are getting sued for infringement. <br />In a case like this, I don't think that "intellectual property" comes into it, since obviously, this individual certainly did NOT invent this concept. It's likely just someone with a history of having her artwork stolen, which of course, is a bad thing.<br />What's sad is, had she been the least bit pleasant, I could have included a link to her blog (which I normally do, but for some reason missed this time) and increased her traffic, which may have increased her sales. <br /><br />As it stands, I will never promote her work. If I'm ever on a jury and see her work submitted, it's not getting in. I would never want to ruin other people's art experience (vendors OR buyers)with someone who is so abrasive, combative, and downright rude.ShellHawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17705072702016925284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432553249381188872.post-32667863334740489522012-03-22T15:09:43.942-07:002012-03-22T15:09:43.942-07:00What I find both amusing - and highly suspect - ab...What I find both amusing - and highly suspect - about this is, as you pointed out, that it took two years a for this unpleasant individual to say something - curiouser and curiouser said Alice! - and, honestly, those drawings are a bit on the generic side - as in I've seen them far before her "claim" - I'm no attorney, but isn't there something about "public domain" involved here?Eric Vystherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03419871964506637862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432553249381188872.post-33990418607399758222012-03-22T09:51:42.701-07:002012-03-22T09:51:42.701-07:00Does she have proof SHE owns the copyrights to tha...Does she have proof SHE owns the copyrights to that image?

My first response to your "two days to do it," did not inspire me to cooperate in any way, particularly two years after the fact.<br />You could easily have sent me a nicely phrased email asking me to remove the image, which, by the way, is a generic representation of proportions that any book on drawing would have. If I had posted one of your paintings without your permission, that would have been something else entirely, and I would have understood your outrage.<br />I'll replace the image with another generic representation of facial proportions and give that person credit.<br />Calm down. Not everyone is out to screw you.ShellHawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17705072702016925284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432553249381188872.post-5272359468445189352012-03-21T16:20:30.283-07:002012-03-21T16:20:30.283-07:00I am the owner and copyright holder of the face pr...I am the owner and copyright holder of the face proportions graphic, published on my blog at <br />http://maiaspaintings.blogspot.com/2009/11/human-face-drawing-face-proportions.html<br />Your illegal use of this image is copyright infringement. <br />Remove the infringing material immediately.
