Its only down to supportive people bringing my attention to these situations so I am very appreciate of that. <br /><br />I am a huge advocate of original creativity and have no objection to using other artists and designers work as INSPIRATION ... to fire one up and aspire to. I do! I am in awe of many artists work, it excites me and keeps me going when I feel bereft of creativity. However, I aim to encourage creative confidence and originality with all my students and to raise awareness about intellectual property and copyright so that people make no mistake about what is or isn't their own to publish. As I have always said on this bloggerobbajob .... it is much more fun to BE CREATIVE AND most of all ORIGINAL! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03951881890800344204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810120725264592086.post-49066481822737041112012-03-08T13:39:21.421+00:002012-03-08T13:39:21.421+00:00What a shame, it's a very obvious and direct c...What a shame, it's a very obvious and direct copy.

I wonder if these people believe that stupid old myth that if you change three things in a design it no longer infringes copyright? Or just don't see anything wrong with stealing others' original work.chocolatefroghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08108566408546991673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810120725264592086.post-89300679800220862612012-02-28T16:31:29.782+00:002012-02-28T16:31:29.782+00:00I know this happens, but I'm still shocked eve...I know this happens, but I'm still shocked every time I see that it does. :0(Jeanettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11423818333034603238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810120725264592086.post-48977994386089733072012-02-28T14:45:41.574+00:002012-02-28T14:45:41.574+00:00OMG I can't believe how blatant this is!!!
