Seems like the copyright police are at it again. I truly find it ridiculous even though i am a creator and sell my art as well. But when it comes down to it they are talking about a few tags that were given to me by dear friends the one being from April 22, 2004. Before the so called artist became uppity demanding their 1.78 per image royalty. Should i turn into them and when the next girl comes into the tattoo shop with a well known copyrighted image i should refuse her. We might as well have these copyright police installed in every tattoo parlor in American since i know of about 500 women walking around this world with copyright violations across their body.
So i shake my head and removed the tags in question..
