Fucking outrage!

http://www.miketyndall.com/todd_goldman/

This is my first step in taking up arms against a man of little conviction and integrity. Todd Goldman must be stopped at all costs. Read the article, spread the word. This guy's gotta go down.

Oh, this guy is a son of a bitch. Is it so hard for him to draw his own damn ideas? He doesn't even care about the accusations either, he says he wants to be rated WORSE in that book of 100 people screwing up America.

I'm spreading the word, Kontan.

Good goth, this is an outrage. Is this the person who's been making those obnoxious prep bunny that says smartass stuff? Not only does he rip off the well-done and macabre-ly gothic comic Lenore (one of my favourites, and I've known Roman's work for years) but he rips off the humour as well. God...this guy is....GRGRGRGRGRGRGRGRGRGRGRGGRRGRRGRGRGRGGRRGGR I draw dark gothic comics kind of like Lenore, and plagirsim is something I've obviously been against for a while now (sorry for my spelling) God...and he does this to make MONEY. Dirge FTW

That's disgusting. It's all about money. At this rate, art will be superseded by materialism to the point where it will just be another page in my child's history book.

I think the real question should be is have we already passed that point. Is original thought dead (as is the theme of several of my other posts)? Spoofs are on the rise of youtube and elsewhere. They have entire contests designed around spoofs. All spoofs really are is plagerism. Is there anything we can really do short of cleaning out the memories of the entire world?

No, art is still art.

But this is blatant THEFT. It's fucking theft, people. This isn't about the world losing its artistic integrity, this is about a fucking criminal making a living off of others' work. This isn't some light hearted spoof or some trendy thing on Youtube. This is fucking crime and this fucker is getting away with it.

Abolish intellectual property.

Yeah, a spoof isn't deceptive. It presents itself as a work based on another work. Whereas what this guy is doing is basically lying to the whole world, and then cashing in on that lie.

He has made well over 4,000 dollars off of one piece of another internet artist's work.

That's a god damned sin.

I think that the bottom line is that we need to look at each case of plagiarism in general. If we can make examples of those we catch, we may not stop it, but we can possibly prevent it from occuring again. We have the power to stand up for these artists; why not use it?

It's funny. I've seen every single one of the things that got ripped off. I've never seen any of Goldman's stuff.

Some people at my school are angry at me for having posted that website...they're trying to defend Todd Goldman's honour (like he has any) and therefore refuse to listen to the voice of reason --> me!

Actually, I don't really have that much reason. I jsut sometimes make sense.

Artistic theft really is the lowest thing one can do.

Not really. It's low, but I can think of at least 100 things lower than artistic theft. But artistic theft WILL make you lose all respect from others real fucking quick.
