is it ripping when someone else uses similar type? or is the argument here that sean jean likes the seduction and has reduced this type treatment to nearly font status?
a rip would be inserting logos into another's layout or outright plagiarizing the work but as new letters have been made to spell new words...
are you saying no designer has the right to make letters that look like that? that wouldn't be fair, what about all the fonts that look like each other?
heavy inspiration combined with a crybaby mentality
- are you version3? your writing style seems to be similar to his..e-pill

neowe,
I think in this case 'rip' = a direct appropriation of the original artwork, which apparently was not authorized or licensed to be used on P. Diddy's apparel.
He ripped that shit the fuck off.

it's too close to the original.it's like they sample the song, beats and use half of the lyrics.
- ah..d_rek posted before me. ;-)akrok

d_rek, how can you say it's "a direct appropriation" the garment says sean jean, the poster says seduction
- d_rek0
neowe,
Don't be naive. The intent is quite obvious. Even though they slightly altered the original artwork many of the original qualities remain unchanged. It's an utter and direct rip-off. No discussion. No arguement. The facts speak for themselves.
Now fuck off cunt.

^ that change isn't enough to make it original. At first glance they're identical, and the overall treatment, the flourishes and crops and everything, are the same. If it was as simple as a font, it might not be an issue, but this is a modification of a piece that took a lot of hard work to achieve (it seems).

the first three letters are identical and the 'd' in seduction is now an 'a' in sean.
- neowe0
being told to fuck off by someone typing is more ignorant than believing sean john owes anyone including pentagram an apology

I'm bothered because it's hard to read.

neowe is totally right, they don't look anything like each other.
- neowe0
the flip flops drips and slides are all a bit different, the inspiration here is obvious but original work was done outside the inspiration so it's unique, therefore not a rip
- that's probably why the Europeans like itmcmillions
