Graphic Designer Sued : Stock Agency FRAUD


I don't normally post agenda driven items, but this hits close to home. Jon Engle, a prominent graphic designer, is being wrongfully sued by a stock agency, www.stockart.com, for copyright infringement - Here's the catch! Someone ripped off logo images from Jon's Logopond Showcase (a portfolio site) and sold them to the stock agency!!! WTF! GET THIS - the lawyer from the stock agency is now contacting Jon's clients telling them that the work done is a violation of copyright!!!! I first read about the story on one of my fave design blogs, blog.iso50.com/, and Jon's account can be found here Take the opportunity to read Jon's post and comment away.
