Bobby : Sure, but are you making business / money selling your MP3s or your pirate videos ? And considering it is a local artist, can't they just give her a phone call or send her a mail to ask for permission ? Can't they credit her name on the poster ? Send her invites or whatever ? etc etc... I mean IMO it's not about who's a saint or who's not, it's about responsibilities coming with organization of big events, showing the example even if it's through inventing new ways of compensation if they're short on money... At the end, a notion everyone seams to just forget lately : Respect of the artist. Respect of the "other" in general...

it's a bad thing, i agree... but please don't spread hate over it. we are all guilty of the same crimes, well almost. we have listened to mp3s that we didn't buy, we have used cracked software, we have watched pirated videos, we have viewed clips in youtube that i doubt has permission from their owners. i am not saying we don't prosecute the organizers, i am just saying that we still support what they want to happen in the bigger picture.

Earth Day Jam is organized by Lou Bonnevie and Toto Gentica. We should boycott not only this event, but any event involving those two thieves. Mike Abundo's last blog post..Hatebreed - Destroy Everything

Now that's a complete plagiarism.. And another great offense for damaging the picture. Hasn't that idea passed through the mind of whoever made that poster? That completely sucks the concert... for a cause, eh? The organizers shouldn't have overlooked this thing. Whatta crime..

I really don't go to gigs a lot, but still... It's a shame for the organizers that they did such act. Why can't they be more creative than that? Dan Hellbound's last blog post..40 Minutes After Christ Died.

Was it that hard for them to ask the proprietor of the image for permission & pay for the use??? :S man, they should've gone to a free stock site or else they could've paid 10 bucks to some emo kid and gave her a guitar and took a pic of her lol xD Afef's last blog post..My New Child!!

wow.. that's sick, and sad. do people have no sense of dignity anymore? (wait, no they don't >>;; ) it's a terrible design too. if that post had been out during my first semester of school i would've used it as an example of bad design for one of my projects. anyway, what's so hard about crediting too? just one simple line. wow...the laziness ne~ =.= Hikari's last blog post..break

about the quite heated issue about copyrighted images... Aren't the artists under the organizer's jurisdiction? Ganito lang yan, sa election kung maydayaan, di ba presidente ang sinisisi natin, hindi mismo ang Comelec? Same with the organizers. They should have closely monitored their artists, because it's under their jurisdiction.

The problem with the popularity of digital technology is that people can easily take credit of other people's work. Just look at many blogs with celebrity layouts, with those wo get pictures from gettyimages and other copyrighted stock photo sites...and then they claim that it is made by them just because they edited it.

I don't think I've seen this much controversy ever since Laura Jade spotted one of her famous photos on a pornography DVD cover.

Big companies like these should REALLY know better than to snatch an image off the internet and editing it without looking for the creator and asking. D:
