<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coinchemistry 2012, post: 2603273, member: 28107&quot;]Some of you are unbelievable.&nbsp; Might I suggest that you and a few others lookup the word &quot;hypocrisy&quot; in the dictionary as it is non-existent in my posts.&nbsp; I am beginning to question the ages of some of the posters in this thread.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The hypocrisy is clear:&nbsp; Carr is venerated as an artist for the production of his fantasy overstrike pieces, which effectively copy someone else&#039;s original designs (the designer/engraver) and then overstrikes them over someone else&#039;s works (the U.S. Mint&#039;s final production).&nbsp; The person copying Carr&#039;s original designs (and making stylistic changes with artistic license) exhibits just as much artistry as Carr does in the production of his fantasy pieces.&nbsp; As Carr loves to argue (when comparing himself to Andy Warhol no less), &quot;you don&#039;t get to decide what art is.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the copyright issues, for anyone that can pass an elementary school reading comprehension exam, I acknowledged the problems from the beginning.&nbsp; I never seriously argued that the Amero copies were legally or morally kosher.&nbsp; Regardless of whether a design is in the public domain or not does not change my original point: Ripping off someone else&#039;s work is ripping off someone else&#039;s work.&nbsp; <b>Of course if any of you actually cared about the law, then neither Carr&#039;s fantasy overstrikes nor the Amero copies would exist in their current forms.</b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
