Congdon says she plans to refute Sherwin's criticisms eventually, but she's waiting to settle ongoing legal negotiations amongst Cody Foster.
A comment past times a photographer
Photographer Jon Atkinson states that Lisa Congdon used his paradigm without his permission (in Comment 524). You tin also read the exchnage of correspondence at COMMENT530
I am ane of the photographers, who owns the lemur paradigm (Copyright for Artists - Congdon vs Cody Foster published after a mini viral tempest almost copyright infringement on the Internet generated past times Lisa Congdon (Today is going to survive awesome).
[This post service was revised in addition to updated 26 July 2016]
This was followed upward past times 2 posts past times Brian Sherwin:
- Let's Have an Ar(t)gument: You stole my idea! Lisa Congdon vs. Cody Foster & Company which reviews the legal arguments in addition to the potential evidence. It seems in that location are lots of potential issues the claimant volition demand to address
- Lisa Congdon vs. Cody Foster: What almost the photographers? At this betoken it became clear in that location was rather to a greater extent than to the storey when it comes to alleged "copyright rip-off"! Again the images - of photographs compared to illustrations past times Lisa Congdon - are rattling persuasive.
The latter has at nowadays generated 550 comments in addition to is at nowadays ane of the most extensive discussions I've seen on the Internet related to copyright infringement, the rights of photographers non tobe copied in addition to the whole thorny topic of derivative works
For illustration - Comment 424
I think it's fair to say that many artists, peradventure fifty-fifty the vast bulk of artists, are dangerously unfamiliar amongst copyright law. They think such things equally "It's on the internet, hence I tin utilization it."
Or "If I modify it 10 per centum (or xx per centum or xxx percent) in addition to hence it's legal."
Or "I'm changing it from a photograph to a painting. That makes it okay."
Or "My run is stylized (like Congdon's) in addition to because I don't run realistically I tin utilization photos without violating their copyright." (Try telling that to Shepard Fairey.)
Or "If I build a sculpture (or an ornament) from a photo, I'm changing it from 2D to 3D, hence that's non a violation."
Or "I'm solely using this photograph inward a larger work, hence it's okay."
Or "I'm solely using a part of this photo, hence that makes it okay."
Or "I'm exactly a pocket-size fourth dimension artist." Or a hobbyist. Or my catch is pure. Or everyone does it. Or no ane volition notice.
NONE of these is a defense strength inward a courtroom of police push clitoris if yous rip off a copyrighted photograph to build your artwork.
One ready of comments related to an artwork past times Mathilde Aubier which it appeared had been copied past times Lisa Congdon. The allegations - in addition to the artwork - receive got at nowadays disappeared from view but the tape of what happened remains inward the comments.
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 courtroom instance about the appropriation of a photograph has also been quoted - the reference is Friedman v. Guetta – Copyright Infringement, Fair Use, in addition to “Meaningless Art.” - in addition to is rattling definitely worth a read if yous are an creative soul who copies the photographs of other people.
However in that location receive got been further developments and one of them, from Thomas Allen (Thomas Allen Online) caused my jaw to drop..........

I am ane of the photographers, who owns the lemur paradigm (http://jon-atkinson.com/Lemurs.html) that Lisa Congdon has copied.He followed upward with
I tin categorically province that Congdon did non asking or receive got rights to utilization my photo. All of my images receive got embedded watermarks that present they are copyright protected hence she was fully aware that she did non receive got the rights to utilization it.
On contacting Congdon directly, she apologised (i.e. admitted guilt) in addition to has later removed my paradigm (and past times the looks of things all the others).
I am pleased to say that Lisa in addition to I receive got negotiated an amicable, retrospective, licensing in addition to hereafter royalty understanding for the utilization of my paradigm which is based on my touchstone fees.

- All the sites referenced inward the podcast tin survive found inward the spider web log post.
His determination - equally context for the podcast (the good version of his blog)
The Copyright Quagmire Between Lisa Congdon, Cody Foster & the Art Community - Podcast
I should province that my ain thought almost artists tracing images for their ain fine art is non something I’m overly concerned with, but yous should receive got the rights to utilization the images first, whether purchased, or through Creative Commons.
However, when an creative soul claims those same copied illustrations are their master copy idea, in addition to and hence goes after some other fellowship for essentially doing the same thing, I experience it becomes of import to expose the hypocrisy. I exercise non aspire to tear other artists down, but nosotros demand to survive equally accountable to our actions equally nosotros await corporations to survive toward artists.The role of the Copyright Alliance
What I receive got also found rattling interesting is the agency the Copyright Alliance are treating this story.
Copyright Alliance is an organisation which deals amongst copyright matters in addition to representing the interests of people who create master copy items which taste copyright protection.
The Copyright Alliance is a non-profit, non-partisan populace involvement in addition to educational arrangement representing artists, creators, in addition to innovators across the spectrum of copyright disciplines, including membership organizations, associations, unions, companies in addition to guilds, representing artists, creators in addition to innovators, in addition to thousands of individuals.Back inward Oct they did an interview amongst Congdon - see Friedman v. Guetta – Copyright Infringement, Fair Use, in addition to “Meaningless Art.” - in addition to is rattling definitely worth a read if yous are an creative soul who copies the photographs of other people.
However in that location receive got been further developments and one of them, from Thomas Allen (Thomas Allen Online) caused my jaw to drop..........
