joncontino: Forever21 has ripped me off. Normally I wouldn’t get this upset, but this design in particular was made for my wife as a gift so it really hurts to see it stolen. If you feel so inclined, let them know via Twitter and Facebook that artists will no longer stand for this nonsense!!! This sort of thing is terrible…and so easy to do with artists posting their work online. Corporate thieves don’t even have to leave their desks to steal images for their designs. The average artist doesn’t have the cash to fight a giant corporation on creative copyrights. Forever 21 needs a good boycott if they aren’t going to pay artists for the work they want to use.
