public domain or not, that seems a little like cheating to me.

i have, however, used Newstoday to relieve myself of the pains of great bordem in the past, just not recently.

Welcome to NT brave and forthright one.

i think this issue would made a hell of a difference if it was some other designer that didnt have a "status"
i say its a rip
if you put side by side, the graphic design, the colors they are all same
to me inspired means, you take that style and make something completely new. what i see is not new. its a copy of the old

Picasso aint got shit on me!

Well it's the philosophy of art and he was an expert.

"'George W Bush' of his error"???
I think G-Dub has you beat on speaking...
era, maybe?

Here are the facts:
1) ISO is a really good designer
2) That poster isn't "inspired", its as close to a rip as you can get with there still being a pubic hair of gray area.
3) The original post and question was a good one and in no way was an attack or "over the top" or "harsh" or "unwarranted". Public question and debate is healthy. Unless, of course, you want to live in a world where you aren't free to speak your mind and question and debate without fear or consequence of being ridiculed or banished.
4) Picasso, a hell of a painter but really kind of the "George W Bush" of his error when it came to philosophizing.

The actual meaning of that quote is lost on most people.

(Mar 7 06, 09:13)Fuck that and fuck Picasso. Who the fuck died and made Picasso a philosopher....just paint the pretty pictures and leave the big words to someone smart.

So he called the Soviet Labour Party then? or the Hermitage Preservation Museum?
either case..it's a ridiculous scenario.

Mimio, the designer doesn't always own the rights.
- Mimio0
So philip for a second there you were confused and actually thought he had paid some Bolshevik designer (who's probably dead) for the rights to reproduce this image?
lol...alright...this is just ridiculous.

please dont use Koziks name in the same sentence as Iso50s...
- enjine0
i don't think the orignial was an attack, per se... i think he was just bringing up a question that affects us and all of our work.
i totally dig ISO50's work and this doesn't change my mind about that...

Exactly Skelly,
I just wanted to know about the actual copyright of the piece.
It was clear to me in the first place that Scott (ISO50) didn't designed the poster...
I'm still is biggest fan!!!
- horton0
oh i also just realized its a promo poster for this "Command Collective" / music / events... so it's not even a ISO50 Design promo piece.
if you're going to attack this, consider all of Frank Kozik's work, the history of rock posters in general, umm.. Andy Warhol, etc etc.

I'm sure an anonymous poster from the 30's is public domain. Even more so if the poster site is selling originals. There's no reason to believe they have any reproduction rights if they only deal in selling originals.
I agre a lot of stuff on NT should be dealt with through email, but the original poster seemed to be asking an honest question about ownership.
- mrdobolina0
This artwork was commissioned originally by a government that no longer exists, wonder what that has to do with it.
