hey canuck are you agreeing that public domain is anything more than 25 years, or are you saying my info is wrong and you think its more than 25 years?
does that make sense?
i'm not claiming to know for sure.. 25 years is just a number that i often hear people claim as public.
would like to know the facts.

I think public domain is more than 25 years.
Either way it's more ethical to email someone a question about their work, than tear them a new arse on newstoday, especially when they are not around to defend the piece.
Happens too much around here.

did people actually think ISO50 designed that image?
i'd think you'd have to be living in a cave for the last 50 years to not recognize it as a copy of the original communist poster.
its not like he was trying to hide it or anything. even used the same "6bEM" title on top.
if nobody owns the reproduction rights on the image and its +25 years old, i believe its fair game.
as for whether i think it's commendable business for a designer to be selling these as a branded promotional poster, or worth the $$$:
answer = no.

that poster place sells originals from the 30s, not knockoffs. You'll prolly have to shell out $500+ to take that home.

by the way the work is listed as by Anonymous, so who really owns it? Do you think that poster place just found the original, traced it, and sold it? Is that any different?

say it ain't so!

...and it's even worse when there is more than just one product being sold at the website with that design.

Re-creating traditional posters seems like a good way to get better at what you do.
I dont think his intention was to claim he created the design. The poster is obviously a traditional communist era design.
Looks more like inspiration then a rip to me.

In school people always used to steal ideas out of the design history books, when they would show up to crits we would say..."that looks familiar..."
