<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 2512670, member: 36230&quot;]Again, did Warhol use modern technology like a scanner and printer to copy Campbell&#039;s Soup cans, or did his method at least require some level of god-given talent? You don&#039;t use your own hands, so stop comparing yourself to any artist/artists who do. Your copying is no different than someone taking Warhol&#039;s (garbage) scanning it, changing some detail, and claiming as his own.</p><p><br /></p><p>You blabber on about jealousy but have yet to explain what I&#039;m supposedly so jealous of? I hate to break it to you, but the talent I&#039;m jealous of is light years beyond yours. You&#039;re not in the same galaxy as Vermeer, Lennon/McCartney, etc... you know, those who possessed true creative genius. The simple fact that you&#039;re best known for exactly copying the work of others should tell you something, sir, but no... Keep kidding yourself.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t whine when someone refuses to see me as an artist. I don&#039;t whimper and argue idiocy making delusional comparisons of myself to the truly talented, demanding that my copying be viewed a great art while anyone/everyone else&#039;s copying is dog excrement. I don&#039;t state my opinion that another operation&#039;s dies are illegal while schmuckishly claiming my much more exacting dies are perfectly fine. I find your copying beyond cheesy just like I do the earlier-mentioned &quot;tribute proofs&quot; and can say so without the slightest hypocrisy; can you?</p><p><br /></p><p>As for your usual hiding behind the lack of convictions, just because you haven&#039;t experienced heat doesn&#039;t mean what you do is to the letter of the law. I read your post on the FTC website and it makes clear that you know damn well you&#039;re skirting the law; why else would you bother trying to justify your position if the law was already on your side? Then there&#039;s the whining about &quot;intent&quot; as if that makes it all okay. Do those producing illicit fentanyl today &quot;intend&quot; to kill anyone? No, they intend to make money, but this doesn&#039;t mean no harm comes from their actions and the same can most reasonably be said for yours even if not life and death.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let&#039;s be honest here; you steadfastly refuse to use clearly identifying markers simply because you wish to keep your blatant copying as true to the original as possible. The great debate over what you do would all but disappear if you did what you KNOW to be the right thing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
