This is the headline from a recent article where a law was almost
passed protecting designers, but never made it into law.
FASHION DESIGNS AREN'T PROTECTED BY COPYRIGHT LAW, SO KNOCKOFFS THRIVE AS DESIGNERS SUFFER

Martin Whatson En Pointe Print Release, by samfrost on Nov 10, 2014 2:08:25 GMT 1, Quite a rapid set of developments. First, MW fans went into denial, then rationalization and now ignoring blatant copyright violations as "art". Next step will be "I love it, still keeping it on my wall".
Unfortunately, this certainly can't help MW's future...just another lesson to be careful when evaluating an artist. I am sure that MW is a nice chap, however I have failed to observe exactly what is so mind-blowing about a few squiggles on stock images?!? Sad to see so many people flush money down the drain on crap art.

Must say at this point I do not have or particularly like any of the tagging stuff and don't own any etc just an ER canvas
You and Natsan do like to gloat don't you?
like its a big end etc. this is nothing ---the worst that will happen is that Martin will need to pay a slice of what he earned. The pieces are the same they have the same value whether he had permission or not.
i would be very surprised if anyone thought he free drew the dancer etc. just as I never thought he photographed the space man.
likewise never thought Banksy took the photo's he makes his stencils from etc.
its not a criminal offense it's a copyright issue/ infringement at best. Likewise did not see anyone stop using their apple or Samsung Phones due to their copyright violations on each other.
so yes it's a bit wrong but not much to be honest. The piece became his piece based on the tagging and look etc it uses the same image in that he took his stencil but it is not an exact replica. So I assume he will just carry on exactly as before but either create his own, use unprotected images or gain permission etc
then em that's it really
If Ryoung contacts them then something will be either agreed or not agreed. May be legal etc it will go one way or another. But it's a percentage of the profit....that's it nothing more nothing less

Dude, that is so wrong. I did not gloat and seriously, I can't even be bothered to reply to your previous reply on my post anymore as I don't find a bicker with you will result in anything fruitful, or that it will change facts. You seem like the kind who only believe what you chose to believe in.
You make it sound like you are the artist defending yourself. Nobody said MW's career is over, (as you assume people are inferring that) but I just thought it will be harder road for him to continue his work methodlogy this way in the future in view of this copyright issue. I don't nessarily think that people will stop buying his works.
I am just being honest about my thoughts and opinions on this forum. If you have a vested interest in this artist, I can understand your position. If not, I really have no clue why you need to be so worked up behind a monitor screen in your little virtual world. Else, PM me and let me know what is your problem with me.

Why will it be harder he just needs to find stencils that are not copyright protected or get permission.
Career troubles I actually quoted Sam Frosts post which you had clicked like to so one would assume you agreed with it.
On the contrary I have stated a few time throughout the thread I disagree with using other people's work, I also do not like the tag thing he does etc.
Think it's fair to say that most stencil artists do not create the image in the stencil. Does using two peoples artworks to create two stencils and putting them together to give a different meaning create something unique or is it twice the abuse etc. likewise does using another's image with or without permission make any difference to the artwork.
eg If Martin had permission would it make any difference. Note it is also not clear yet whether he did or he did not have permission.
only CY who says she represents the artist says he did not.
Cy could be fake the stencil may have been made from a photo that was on a free to use site etc
so there are a number of things still not very clear here.
similarly even if all the above is true and it was without permission it may be settled for say eg Β£1 a print etc in which case no issue.
so as said earlier not sure it's correct to jump to too many conclusions and two I do not think there is actually much issue as stencil artists use stencils.
bit like Banksy copied the praying boy from Rene G mmm no he didn't they both nicked it from someone's photo.

Martin Whatson En Pointe Print Release, by Rouen Cathedral on Nov 10, 2014 20:39:34 GMT 1, Too me this is less about whether it is illegal or not. Yes it's illegal to steal images from others but the reality is thatt is a very grey area that can be worked around and we see it all the time.
To me thing is more a case of a well known artist being lazy and taking an image from a lesser known artist which is a real deception.
This isnt Shepard fairly taking an Obama AP image. Or blek using a sybil from the Sistine chapel. Or use of s pop image that many claim is the basis for this type of art genre.
This is worse. Everyone knows those images but here we seem to have an artist taking an image with the thought no one will know because it's from a source not known to many. That is just sad.
Too me this is less about whether it is illegal or not. Yes it's illegal to steal images from others but the reality is thatt is a very grey area that can be worked around and we see it all the time.

I agree this is the most disappointing bit in the whole thing, it's the way he has just tried to sneak it though. It's somehow not as bad when its obviously stolen and everyone knows it |

Martin Whatson En Pointe Print Release, by aberdoom on Nov 10, 2014 21:52:50 GMT 1, This has gone much further than it really needed to....
The whole we hate MW and his repetitive tagging has turned into a hate mob saying this is shocking blah blah blah.
This isn't a hangable offence in the UK... If he's out with copyright laws I'm sure there will be consequences, but to me,this is just people jumping on the bandwagon and wanting to shot first and ask questions later! GP has already posted on the thread, and it am sure he will again after the situation has been resolved?
Would the original picture sell out if it was on GP site? I think not...
Did the MW version sell out? He'll yeah and it's a nice image, he's added his part!
If Banksy released this with a gangsta rat in the corner playing the ballet tunes, would people be email Mr Young??
I think not..
My opinion..
Now I'm off to find a thread about a release I don't like and make sure everyone knows about it! Then I'm going to head down Tesco's and shout at everyone who buys baked beans that haven't got the Heinz logo on them!
