Thief sues original artist to overturn copyright

Tue Oct 27, 2009, 1:34 AM
Might be of interest for artists even if you can't help the guy out.

An artist has been making a living of using recycled propane tanks to make fire bowl sculptures when someone else started mass producing his designs. Now the thief is suing him in federal court and hoping to outlast the artist financially. If that happens the court will nullify the artist's registered copyright in favor of a guy who's apparently never made any work of his own.

Loved your recent work... but I do have a question, if that's okay...? who was the one basking in the sun by the beach? I couldn't tell.
