They are truly the Mcdonalds of the "Sip & Paint Industry" they send dozens each week to independent arts studios a stack of attorney paperwork. Claiming artwork is theirs, forcing studios to give up artwork. <br /><br />Lastly how can you put a copyright on Van Gogh or a Monet artwork. These lawyers are robbing PWAT and local artists. So ridiculous.

And I thought-- hoped?-- we'd reached the nadir almost a decade ago with duelling sushi joints... or was it duelling Korean tea houses? <br /><br />I do hope they offer kids and moms and others the chance to copy not only Rothko and Barnett Newman but also Hieronymous Bosch and Brueghel-- "The Triumph of Death" especially-- and Raymond Pettibon too.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36892255.post-60207492930799903032015-04-19T11:21:22.741-04:002015-04-19T11:21:22.741-04:00Anonymous 6:27, do you even know what a Ponzi sche...Anonymous 6:27, do you even know what a Ponzi scheme is? This isn't even remotely close to a Ponzi scheme. <br /><br />This is simple copyright. Art is NOT free. You can't just do whatever you want with other people's work. This place paid for the rights to teach people how to copy other artists paintings and they're making money off of it. The original painters should be compensated, hence why they paid for the copyrights. Just like bands that play other people's songs have to pay for the rights to do that. You want to go out and make money off of other people's work, you have to compensate them.<br /><br />This is no different than if this was a music studio that taught you have to play Stairway to Heaven and gave you a copy of your recording after. Led Zeppelin would have to be paid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36892255.post-24168169378326115392015-04-16T06:27:27.336-04:002015-04-16T06:27:27.336-04:00This is absolutely the most rediculous Ponzi schem...This is absolutely the most rediculous Ponzi scheme I've ever heard of. I mean, they own the art? For what? And are there really that many bored brainless women in the neighborhood? I don't think so. This is the stupidest most lame idea especially in a neighborhood where there are actual artists and designers. Sorry. This. Is. Lame. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36892255.post-50931987064013488082015-04-15T15:53:52.000-04:002015-04-15T15:53:52.000-04:00Welcome to the 'burbs!Welcome to the 'burbs!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36892255.post-74817881651816766652015-04-15T12:55:28.290-04:002015-04-15T12:55:28.290-04:00'Owns the copyright to over 3,500 pieces of ar...'Owns the copyright to over 3,500 pieces of art,' does not sound like fair practices on any level.

It seemed more child oriented. I don't know why but I feel kind of duped to learn this is a franchise. At least it isn't s bank or a manicure place. Let's hope it employs local artists.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
