More Stolen Art...Don't Buy This Book

[Jeph]

Got a disturbing email from Darren over at Little Chimp Society. Apparently someone put a book together with art and interviews culled from LCS and artists personal websites. They also include a CD with all of the art on it.

Here's Darren's blog about it...

Apefluff » Colorful Illustrations 93°C - Please DO NOT buy this book!

and one of the pages containing some of my work.





I'm posting this here because I know there are a few GPers with stuff over at LCS.



So heads up!

it's not like they're passing it of as their own...

Someone should contact Nels (Jagmo), he's a copyright lawyer, and could probably at least give legal advice.

wow.

ok.. just devils advocate. how is this bad, like sometimes you guys say getting in any book is good for you..

ooooo!!!....... more mini-posters.

actually since it's an unauthorized (bootleg) book i think that would make the mini posters bootlegs and you could have vero shut down those auctions.

wow.

ok.. just devils advocate. how is this bad, like sometimes you guys say getting in any book is good for you..

and it's not like anyone has been paid to do any of the other group books. same deal as other books people have been in, not get paid and hope you get a book from the publisher.
