VIDEO GAME ART THAT LOOKS LIKE THE MOVIES

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
We live in a world in which everyone's copying each the work of others. Musicians, artists, and writers often depend on outside sources as inspiration for their own "work." Unfortunately, the video games and movie industries are no exceptions.

On numerous occasions, the artwork of video games and movie posters end up looking surprisingly similar. It's a common saying that imitation is the best form of flattery-if
this is truly the case, then the video games and movie industries must be head over heels for each other. Coincidence, or plagiarism? You be the judge.

Ada Wong from Resident Evil 4 Looks Like La Femme Nikita

Resident Evil 4's Ada Wong sits with her gun and stares off into space, very much like Anne Parillaud in the 1990 French film Nikita.

The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay is a video game that is based on a movie. Hitman, however, is a movie that is based on a video game. Confused yet? Regardless, the promotion poster for Hitman looks very similar to the cover of Riddick.

True Crime: Streets of LA Looks Like The Replacement Killers

Jim Power in Mutant Planet Looks Like Jean Claude Van Damme

The hideous cover artwork of Jim Power in Mutant Planet looks as if someone drew a picture of Jean Claude Van Damme, then threw in a baseball cap, t-shirt, shades and a toy gun.
Contra Cover Looks like Predator, Rambo, and Baby Alien from Aliens

This one takes a page off of three different sources. Contra's two lead characters, Bill and Lance, look like Arnold Schwarzenegger from Predator and Sylvester Stallone from Rambo, respectively. Throw in the baby alien from the Aliens movies, and you've got the box art of the NES classic Contra.

There was a film and the opening image ended up looking a lot or very similar to a French artist's creation.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Love it or hate it, Asim Abbasi's Churails has managed to garner a lot of attention through its out of the box storyline, specially in a country like ours. However, not everything on the film is fresh and new; and so it seems after a Twitter user brought attention to the plagiarized opening sequence of the web series.

The opening sequence consists of a brilliant illustration, and quite ironically it was originally created by French artist Malika Favre, which Churails have managed to conveniently copy with a few minor tweaks.

"Half a minute into the web series #Churails and I spot some blatant plagiarism in the opening credits. Malika Favre's powerful illustration has been quite conveniently ripped off," Twitter user Amna Tariq brought attention to the matter as she also tagged the French illustrator.

The opening sequence for Churails was created by Rokhan Studio, who has so far not responded to the matter. Churails' production company Glasshouse Production has however issued a statement.

"This has been brought to our notice right now and we are looking into it immediately".

Art Rogers filed a case against Jeff Koons for making an art piece that copied his photo.
https://99designs.com/blog/tips/5-famous-copyright-infringement-cases/

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Copyright has never been an easy, black-and-white kind of issue. Arguments over copyright between creatives happen all of the time, it's an inescapable issue.

Read through some of these famous court cases that have created major public discourse over copyright - how it's handled, what it means, and why we should all care.

1. Rogers vs. Koons
_

Photograph: Art Rogers - 1985; Polychrome: Jeff Koons - 1988 (both via The Design Observer Group)

Case

Photographer Art Rogers shot a photograph of a couple holding a line of puppies in a row and sold it for use in greeting cards and similar products. Internationally, renowned artist Jeff Koons in the process of creating an exhibit on the banality of everyday items, ran across Rogers' photograph and used it to create a set of statues based on the image.

Koons sold several of these structures, making a significant profit. Upon discovering the copy, Rogers sued Koons for copyright. Koons responded by claiming fair use by parody.

Outcome

The court found the similarities between the 2 images too close, and that a "typical person" would be able to recognize the copy. Koon's defense was rejected under the argument that he could have used a more generic source to make the same statement - without copying Rogers' work. Koons was forced to pay a monetary settlement to Rogers.

Significance

This is one of those famous cases that encompassed a larger issue in the art world, the issue of appropriation art. Can you build upon another's work to create your own original piece? And if you do so, does that constitute derivative work?

It also brought up the issue of photography as art, was photography just a documentation of the world, or is it a creative and artistic product? Neither of these issues was entirely answered by the case, of course, but it has also become a reference used in many cases afterward.

You can parallel this with vector-tracing a photograph for your design. Are you creating a derivative work that subtracts value from the original artist?

2. The Associated Press vs. Fairey
_

Photograph: Mannie Garcia - 2006 (via The New York Times); Poster: Shephard Fairey - 2008 (via Wikipedia)

Case

Famous street artist Shephard Fairey created the Hope poster during President Obama's first run for presidential election in 2008. The design rapidly became a symbol for Obama's campaign, technically independent of the campaign but with its approval.

In January 2009, the photograph on which Fairey allegedly based the design was revealed by the Associated Press as one shot by AP freelancer Mannie Garcia - with the AP demanding compensation for its use in Fairey's work. Fairey responded with the defense of fair use, claiming his work didn't reduce the value of the original photograph.

Outcome

The artist and the AP press came to a private settlement in January 2011, part of which included a split in the profits for the work.

Significance

Though there wasn't a court case and an actual verdict, this case created a lot of discourse around the value of work in these copyright battles. It's unlikely that Garcia's work could have ever reached the level of fame it did, if not for Fairey's poster. Garcia himself stated he was "so proud of the photograph and that Fairey did what he did artistically with it, and the effect it has had," but still had a problem with the fact that Fairey took the image without permission and without credit for it's originator.

Credit, credit, credit! On 99designs you cannot use licensed work - but in the right circumstances you can use stock imagery. When doing so, make sure everyone knows the source.

3. Cariou vs. Prince
_

Photograph: Patrick Cariou - 2000; Adaptation: Richard Prince - 2008 (both via artnet)

Case

Richard Prince is a well known appropriation artist - one who transforms the work of others to create new meaning in his own work. For an exhibition in the Gagosian Gallery, Prince appropriated 41 images from a photography book by French photographer Patrick Cariou, claiming fair use that he created new meaning out of the photographs. Cariou argued that it wasn't fair use, but copyright infringement.

Outcome

A judge ruled in favor for Cariou in 2011, claiming the changes made to Cariou's photographs weren't significant enough to constitute a change in meaning - fair use. However, the case is currently in appeal and the final decision has not yet been reached.

Significance

The initial ruling in this case in favor of Cariou has created huge divisions in the artistic community. It brings up questions about artistic intent and the subjectivity of art, asking "who was this judge to determine whether or not the appropriated artwork had enough meaning to be considered fair use" when the art could be interpreted differently by each person who viewed it. The jury is still out on this one.

Imitation vs. inspiration

Don't be a designer who creates work too close to that of another. You have to make sure you are creating something original and not derivative.

-

Update 4/25/2013

Not two weeks after this article was published, the original decision in this case was overturned and the judge ruled in favor of Prince for the majority of the works in dispute, claiming that Prince's work transformed the work in the way that it was aesthetically different, and thus acceptable under the argument of fair use.

Read more about the decision as well as the 5 pieces which are still under review by a lower court in The New York Times and Hyperallergic.

4. Modern Dog Design vs. Target Corporation
_

Illustrations: Modern Dog - 2008; T-shirt: Target (both via Business Insider)

Case

Seattle design firm Modern Dog utilized a series of sketches of dogs in their compendium put out by Chronicle Books in 2008. The firm alleges that illustrations from that design have been used in a T-shirt produced by Disney/Target for sale, and filed a lawsuit in 2011.

Outcome

TBD. There hasn't been a decision yet in this case but Modern Dog has been campaigning online pretty heavily for publicity and funds to help with its legal fees over the issue.

Significance

The Modern Dog case has brought to light a question burning in the mind of many designers and artists - what happens if a major corporation with many more resources than me, utilizes my artwork for profit?

Modern Dog was recently forced to sell their studio to cover the legal costs associated with this battle, so it's turning into a very extreme situation for them. We'll have to keep an eye out for how this progressed and continues to change the conversation around this issue.

Always defend your designs. Regardless of who you're going up against - if you think your design is in the right, then make it known.

5. Vanilla Ice vs. David Bowie/Freddie Mercury
_

Case

Vanilla Ice had a hit, in 1991, with Ice Ice Baby - it sampled but did not credit the song Under Pressure by David Bowie and Queen. Though at first denying it, Vanilla Ice later retracted the statement saying it was "a joke". Facing a lawsuit by the duo, Vanilla Ice 'fessed to sampling the work.

Outcome

The case was settled privately out of court with Ice paying an undeclared sum of money and crediting Bowie/Queen on the track.

Significance

There's really not a ton of meaning directly related to design with this one (except for, don't use other people's creative work!). But I couldn't resist adding it. This is one of the most hilarious copyright cases ever.

There are more cases out there! Any you have learned from?

Thanks to the internet it's never been easier for people to rip off something that somebody else created and pass it off as their own. It isn't just individuals who do it either, but major well-known companies like New Look, Forever21, and even Disney. We wrote about one such case before, where artist Tuesday Bassen discovered that Spanish retailer Zara had stolen her designs and were using them without crediting her, and now Bored Panda has compiled an extended list of people who have experienced similar unfair treatment at the hands of people too lazy, or too talentless, to create something for themselves.

"My Art"

Since the beginnings of the Steem platform a cancer established itself in it: the cancer of art plagiarism. Art plagiarism is a disease of this platform and Jaguar Force is a part of the cure.

Source

How Did We Get Here?

This tumor progressively grew, metastasized, by a mechanism of action that involved mainly 4 factors:

1. The initial art plagiarists were rewarded handsomely, these rewards reinforced the practice, fed the tumor and thus promoted it's growth. These initial plagiarists in view of the rewards then created large rings of accounts to exploit this vulnerability.

2. Many users that were not initially art plagiarists saw this phenomenon unfold and in view of the profitability of the scheme mimicked it, replicating the behaviour and expanding the problem.

3. Real artists that refused to engage in art plagiarism fell into a disadvantage by not being able to compete with those plagiarizing, and thus most of those real artists progressively left the platform.

4. Antiabuse initiatives maintained their scopes regarding art plagiarism static after a certain point in time, which resulted in art plagiarists perfecting and sophisticating their art plagiarism techniques, transitioning from mostly art theft initially (directly stealing images of somebody else's art) to mostly art paraphrasing (reproducing somebody else's artwork with slight modifications, change of medium, etc.). This inability and/or unwillingness to dynamically adapt the scope allowed art plagiarism to remain unabated and thrive in the platform.

Source

The Good Fight

In all fairness there were, at the beginning of the platform, great cleaners like @pfunk and others that addressed and fought skillfully against art plagiarism in all its forms, including art paraphrasing. Those great cleaners were temporarily able to contain art plagiarism and at one point went so far as to halt account creation from the whole country of Ukraine and parts of Russia in a measure intended to neutralize and contain the largest art plagiarism ring Steem has seen, the Yanik art plagiarism ring, which still remains active to this day.

Those cleaners that at one point were able to contain the cancer of art plagiarism then because less active in antiabuse initiatives or left the platform, which led to the rampant state of art plagiarism in Steem today.

Source

Be The Change You Want To See In The Platform

A few months ago Jaguar Force decided that enough was enough. That the issue needed to be put back on the table, that art plagiarism in all its forms needed to be fought, engaged, reported and exposed. That it was time to fight the good fight against art plagiarism in order to turn Steem into a platform that rewards and welcomes real artists and not art fraudsters.

"First They Ignore You, Then They Laugh at You, Then They Fight You, Then You Win."

In these months since we started engaging art plagiarism we faced a multitude of problems, complications and obstacles, most of which coming naturally from art plagiarists themselves, their supporters (i.e. major stakeholders and witnesses that could not admit they were duped by these fraudsters) and those in the platform that benefit from it (i.e. Art dapps that benefit from the apparent value that art plagiarism provides the content they curate and reward) but some of it coming from unexpected sources as for example otherwise competent cleaners that allegedly act in the name of logic and reason.

Jaguar Force overcame every single one of those obstacles, complications and problems. To mention just a few of the victories in this not yet finished campaign we can mention the point in which @ntopaz instituted a new set of rules that reflected exactly the rules Jaguar Force was advocating for.

Another significant victory was the institution by @steemflagrewards of the art paraphrasing category, which allowed for an initial and provisory flagging capability that was deployed during the engagement of some of the cases detected.

A more recent and crucial victory in this campaign is merely days old, when @steemcleaners adapted their scope to include art paraphrasing, considering it a type of art plagiarism.

During this process Jaguar Force undoubtedly established itself at and as the vanguard of art plagiarism antiabuse engagement. We served as an arrowhead, as the small element that makes contact and pierces through first, then to be followed by the long shaft of the metaphorical arrow.

Source

Make no mistake, this campaign has just started, the night is young and we are aware that many more obstacles will emerge in the way of its completion. We are ready, prepared and determined to overcome each and every single last one of them. We will cross those bridges when we get to them, even those that don't exist yet, for where a bridge is needed that is not there, we will build it.

We will continue on this full spectrum campaign of detection, engagement and neutralization of art plagiarism by any means we deem appropriate until we consider that the situation has been contained.

This is Jaguar Force,
Reporting directly from the Jungle.
Onwards!

Lichtenstein's use of comic art and styles made him one of America's most famous pop artists, but some have comic artists have a bad taste in their mouths

smithsonianmag.com

The paintings of Roy Lichtenstein, who was born 94 years ago today, are some of the most iconic examples of the pop art movement of the 20th century. Through appropriating the techniques and styles of comic books, a product considered decidedly juvenile and frivolous, Lichtenstein found a way to unite "low" and "high" art in captivating compositions.

However, as Lichtenstein enjoyed worldwide acclaim and his works continue to sell for tens of millions of dollars two decades after his death, comic book artists have voiced frustration at having their creations and genre appropriated with little credit and no money.

Some of these criticisms come over what is perceived as plagiarism by Lichtenstein. "The fact remains that Lichtenstein was simply reproducing the work of the original comic artists, without adding much," comics artist Marc Ellerby told the on the occasion of a large retrospective of Lichtenstein's career at London's Tate Modern in 2013. While expressing respect for Lichtenstein's talents in works like " We Rose Up Slowly," Ellerby also felt that his paintings of single frames hardly did justice to the narratives of comic books that could be hundreds of pages long.

"Lichtenstein did no more or less for comics than Andy Warhol did for soup," echoed Art Spiegelman, creator of the graphic novel "Maus," said in a 2007 interview.

Comics artist Dave Gibbons, who famously drew the graphic novel "Watchmen," has made even more pointed criticisms of Lichtenstein's work. "I'm not convinced that it is art," Gibbons told the BBC in a 2013 interview. "A lot of Lichtenstein's stuff is so close to the original that it actually owes a huge debt to the work of the original artist," he added, comparing it to music where artists usually credit the original creator of a song even when parodying it.

To shine more light on the source material behind Lichtenstein's work, comics enthusiast David Barsalou has spent more than three decades painstakingly tracking down the original strips that the artist painted after in a project called " Deconstructing Roy Lichtenstein."

A more personal comment on Lichtenstein's relationship with the comics industry comes from veteran artist Russ Heath, the creator of the original comic panel that Lichtenstein used in his famous painting " Whaam!" In 2014, Heath, who is now 91 years old, drew a short strip about his experience having his work appropriated by the artist while struggling to make ends meet.

Now semi-retired and living on a "fixed income," Heath says he survives with the help of the " Hero Initiative," a charity that supports comic creators in need. "Roy got $4 million dollars for it," Heath said of "Whaam!" "I got zero."
