Message: <blockquote data-quote="BackdoorArts" data-source="post: 455368" data-attributes="member: 9240">My curiosity is why the original artist(s) is refusing to press the matter with the douche who stole it - perhaps his having $90K more than she does to start has something to do with it?  The only way in which it is a "derivative work" is because he's included his comment in the image (not that any of them make any sense).  He could even say that the "art" has nothing to do with the image but instead it's how his comment relates to that image.  It speaks to the assholery of both the artist and "fine art" as a genre.  Those wankers deserve each other, but the OP of the images need to file some sort of class action against the bastard.  And I'd love to see Instagram finance it since it's their interface in the image.</blockquote>
