  Gist: Jon Engle/Relevant Studio created some logos for his clients. They were posted to Logopond. Somebody saw them, copied them and submitted them to stockart.com. Stockart.com accuses the real copyright holder of copyright infringement, ignores his evidence, calls and harasses his clients and now they're saying they will move forward with a lawsuit.

  Full story here: http://www.jonengle.com/2009/04/…

  I would encourage all of you to boycott Stockart.com. We need to stick together on this as it could have happened to any of us.

  www.artlaws.com is the lawfirm being used to sue him..
  I would say: look at their subpages (i.e. http://www.artlaws.com/Transacti… ) - They lie on their website! What would stop a lawfirm that lies on their website from lying in court?

  Well, that should teach people not to post their work on Logopond, it's a shit hole just as big as Stockart.com.

  How can it take so long to sort out what looks like a completely open and shut claim?

  The legal system is just a scheme for lawyers to make money. It has nothing to do with helping people.

  stockart.com? ugh! work I saw there not that good at all....

  Reading some of the bios, they seem to be trying to do to design what $1 stock did to photography.... allow hobbyists to kill the profession with mediocre work that some low-end clients may unfortunately like, but thus lowering the expected $ for higher-end clients....

  Hey, wasn't photography overpriced to begin with? Also, whoever knows what they're doing shouldn't have a problem charging big money for photo work.

  stockart has put out a list of the copied clipart, from at least 13 different illustrators, all with a specific personal style. And here's a compilation from the logofactory http://www.thelogofactory.com/lo… . Jon has disappeared now... case closed, in my opinion.
  Worst case, he'll get also sued for slander and libel.
