I like Fairey's stuff so I don't want you to think I am bashing him, just some artist create things from other art, or find inspiration from other art it's been that way for a long time but to say it's okay cause it's Obey and not okay cause it's Nike is bull, and Fairey has ripped a lot of s#!t during his career.

(Jun 28 05, 09:01)of course that's true, but isn't the issue more about garnering sales by (as Dischord/Minor Threat would see it, which is what matters imo) misrepresenting the values held by the owners/creators of the artwork? As ART this can be valid expression and I think it's fair game, but as a commercial venture, I just reckon it's wrong and unfair those guys.
