Maybe you could contact these people and tell them who you are. They obviously recognize talent, who knows, they might even hire you to make more. If not, tell them you need a free t-shirt....and royalties.  I agree. It doesn't hurt anything to try. By the way, that image was one of my favorites placed on the org. It's a damn shame what people will do for money. Good luck. Andy is a four letter word. | |

Thanks. So far the guy hasn't written me back yet. "You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." "

whendovescry2000 said: Here is what you do. Contact them. Ask for a free shirt and ask for a percentage of the profit. If they say no. The contact ebay and theyy them the shirt they are selling is not original, nor is it licensed that they did a color print of your art which was made for private use only not meant for legal sale - You must stress that. Whendovescry2000 has spoken Good idea. I'll see if they respond in a proper manner. If not, then I'll take it up a notch.

Looks like they make their career off of stealing other people's work. Luv & Peace, Alex Clubbin' in Mpls/A Night w. Prince So maybe you and I should go kick some doors down. "You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." "

I'm also waiting to see if Ben responds to my inquiry about the issue. "You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." "

Dude, u must be PISSED!
keep us in the loop of any developments mmmk? I agree - I think if Ben can assertain if this guy is an Orger, he should ban his ass 4 making money outta ur creation. I suppose we could go as far 2 break it down 2: 'well, it's no different than the Org or HQ using Prince's image without permission etc etc, but the BIG difference there is that neither of us are doing that 4 profit, but outta love. Good luck - keep us posted. 'Nana | |

well. that settles it man. YOU WON THE PHOTOSHOP CHALLENGE, HANDS DOWN!
The prize is SOMEBODY STEALS YOUR WORK! I almost wish it was my work! That's something that's just amazing. You should be flattered. Everybody on this site knows it's your work. If there's money to be made from the sale of that shirt, well, yes, you should pursue it - you've got a bajillion people here who KNOW it's your idea, so maybe we should ALL write the company an email. THAT would straighten that shit out. Man. seriously. I'm impressed. NOBODY'S ever stolen my work like that.

I jsut sent this email to the seller:
You stole this artwork from a photoshop challenge at Prince.org. Over a thousand people have seen the original post of that artwork, so there shouldn't really be much of a dispute in court. Please remove this item. Ebay will be notified of the theft as well. The Last Otan Track: www.funkmusician.com/what.mp3 | |

So here's the update,
The guy says he found the picture on ebaums world. I couldn't find the picture there, but it seems like the kind of site that would have it. How they got it, I don't know. So this is the response I got from teh guy so far: we found it in ebaums world, if you got a copyright on it and dont want it sold then we can take it off, if you want credit for it we will gladley mention your name in the description. I responded by saying I would require credit and profit or take it out. So again, we'll see. "You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." "

I own a few bootlegs here and there and maybe a few might be from Prince. So, screaming that it's an outrage and that ebay should do something seems a bit hypocritical of me, what since I've been grooving to the VAULT, vols 1-5 lately. SO, well, yeah, fight fire with fire on this shit. GO to cafepress.com and sell your own t-shirts. The time is right to get this moving. And don't sweat it, if I don't get my prize. Knowing that I beat EWM is prize enough. Oh come on, I'm just kidding!!!! tis a sweet victory tho. The Last Otan Track: www.funkmusician.com/what.mp3 | |
