Nooooo, contacting a lawyer and taking the story to the media was what got Dave a settlement.
Fair enough. Not what I started the thread for, though. This isn't just a bitch session for me. I went out of my way to send links of the shirts to the respective artworks' owners. I know I can't have caught them all. Many of his shirts are obviously (allegedly) derived from clipart. I don't recognize enough of it to locate it's source and get the owners to see it. I'm guessing that, with the thousands of eyes that wade through here, SOME of you may well be able to say "That's definitely from clipart.com" or from wordperfect or UCLA or what have you. Getting THOSE people to see it is what's important.

What's important is letting somebody else do it.

i mean, the only super-blatant one was the shmorky rip
and there's a chance that Goldman could have bullied that one out of court with his superior funds
dave's lucky he got even the settlement
the rest of them are obviously derivative works, but it is fucking haaaaaaaaaaaard to get a court ruling in the case of derivative works.
I mean, Rob Liefeld and Greg Land have been doing exactly what Todd Goldman is doing for years and years, and ain't no one thrown a successful lawsuit at either of them
now i'm not excusing this sort of crap, i'm just saying that it's nigh impossible to get any sort of favorable resolution here
the only thing all this bluster will accomplish is to make Goldman and Co. more careful about who they rip off.

Regarding writing:
The only single rule I've found about getting published is that if you can entertain, you can get published. Too many writers forget this and turn out dry bullshit that's only interesting to other writers.
Regarding raping you while you're all hopped up on goofballs:
You free next weekend?

Cool.
I don't have any plans next weekend, but I will also be out of goofballs by then. Hopefully I would need them because my headache will be gone and if it's not gone I have to go see another docotor.
