It’s so corrupt. Now they want to have longer copyright periods because they say the young artists are relying on this money. The young artists never see any money because they sign away that money to big media corporations, like Universal and Viacom. We, the artists, lose all of our rights to these massive corporations, who then come down heavy on these kids for downloading films and music that we never see a penny from. It’s complete bullshit.
Alex Cox, director of Repo Man, Sid & Nancy, Straight to Hell, and Walker.

mrgan: I can’t comment with any credibility on the legal issues involved in Andy Baio’s problems with the Kind of Bloop album cover, but I must address one assumption I’m seeing in comments on the story: That cover is NOT the original photo, downsampled. It’s a hand-crafted, precisely drawn interpretation of the source. Anyone who’s ever seriously put pixels to screen will tell you that this is an actual artistic method, one with its own challenges, tricks, and yes, an aesthetic. To illustrate, here’s an object from The Incident. (No, I don’t know how Daimler-Benz feels about the inclusion of their iconic SMART car in our game.) I didn’t scale down the photo to start - that wouldn’t have even been helpful. I looked and I drew from scratch. That’s pixel art.

Last year, I was threatened with a lawsuit over the pixel art album cover for Kind of Bloop. Despite my firm belief that I was legally in the right, I settled out of court to cut my losses. This ordeal was very nerve-wracking for me and my family, and I’ve had trouble writing about it publicly until now. Still want the full story? Read on —Andy Baio Zoom
