Response to Copyright Infringement

Sat Jan 31, 2009, 5:11 PM
We did it!!!!

The Ipod app. has been taken down by Apple until the copyrights issue is resolved and proper credit and payment plans are established for the artists that are represented.

I cannot express the amount of gratitude I have for all of you who helped me and grieved for me in this matter. To everyone who sent an email thank you. As artists we all know what it feels like when someone or some entity steals our work. Our works of art that we spend countless hours on and to have it stolen is such a sickening feeling. Let's hope that this example show these people that we artist will not tolerate such infringements on our works of art.

Thank you all for your overwhelming support,

Won Park

To whom it may disturb,


Wow, you have a new iPhone out! I cant wait to see what you would actually make that gives you right to steal a persons artwork. Now, maybe "steal" is a harsh word. Maybe you had the intentions to give credit to the artists. Heck! When you made the first couple thousand on this phone, you must have been thinking of giving out some of the profit to the artists. Maybe, you are just borrowing their hard work until you have the funds to pay them for it, right?

Well, while I can't continue to berate your decisions, I would hope you look back and ask yourselves "What would you do if someone sold a product and had a picture of the Dollar Origami iPhone in thier ad, but gave it a different name?"


Yours honestly, check the fromtag

Dear Jakk:

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We have terminated the application and the individual from our team who was responsible for the application. Please note that we are in conversations with the original artists and hope to rectify the problem shortly.

Regards,

Robert

Heh Heh he said rectify.

Yeah I got an email like the one on Page 1 from Nexstudios. Good to know its been sorted. People around me have been getting robbed lately but weve been able to recover mostly everything. This is another victory for those who have been wronged. GG
