Commented on Pay-per-view feature films coming to YouTube?

Commented on Was 1971 the best year to be born a geek?
Well, I remember long lineups at my local theatre 2 years after the initial release, so seeing Star Wars 13 times between 79 and 80 is plausible -- before the Empire Strikes Back came out anyway. As far as the...

mechko commented on Legal battle over Shepard Fairey Obama poster takes an unexpected turn
This is a very good point. There are two sides to this copyright battle. On the one hand, there are big corporations attempting to hold a monopoly over art, which is despicable. On the other hand, every artist, whether a big corporation or not, is should receive credit (and royalties) where they are due. Any entity should have the right to royalties from profits in two conditions: 1) the resulting work is a substitute in any form for the original 2) if it would be impossible to create a near perfect substitute of the resulting work without the original. The...
anthropomorphictoast commented on Legal battle over Shepard Fairey Obama poster takes an unexpected turn
As an artist, I will say that this is totally retarded. Using photos as a reference should not be punishable because honestly, how many other artists do the same thing and get away with it?
