The Art of Theft?

$300M is going to buy some really good lawyers.

I like Missy Suicide's response. Maybe photographers should start doing that with all his "art". The problem is, he's already achieved the position of someone whose "art" people are willing to pay silly money for. I love how people will pay large sums for something if a contemporary societal commentary is given as the reason for the art. Mind you, I've long held the belief that photographers make up far more interesting stories around their pictures than was the reality.

Wow that article is unbelievable.

I reckon he's onto something that we can all do....lol. I'd be down at his gallery every day with my Android phone snapping "his" art for myself.

Except he probably bans cameras into his exhibitions :D

No mater what, he is still a non-entity. (Other epithets like "piece of dirt" and many more spring to mind.)

His followers/clients/suckers are mindless indiscriminants.

Nuff's head.

He's not a photog.:nod:

Very interesting article.

Copyright. You only have the 'right' if your pockets are deep enough to defend them, otherwise you have nothing.

Unbelieveable - both what he does and that people pay such ridiculous prices for it.

Tend to agree. If I was the artists he was stealing from, I would be more than just a little annoyed.

I'd take a photo of his photo and include a hand with the middle finger raised.
