Furthermore, when asked about copyright infringment in interviews Shepard Fairey will either mention that he has given money to charity as if he should not be questioned or he will say that if a "bust" happens he hopes it is a "good bust" as in the victim being OK with him making a profit off of their work.

It fails because people will not combine efforts to make a stand. For example, I commented about Shepard Fairey on your blog just a few minutes ago. His art is currently on the cover of Time magazine yet he is a known copyright infringer. It is not popular to mention that about him but it is true. Look up the shirt titled "Cuban Rider" that he was selling as a shirt in 2007. It turned out to be the work of a Cuban artist named Rene Mederos. Shepard Fairey settled out of court with the Mederos family. The problem is that hardly any media source mentions that fact about Shepard Fairey. I think that if more people went after this thief it would send a clear message to other copyright infringers. Instead we all complain about a kid on Facebook or Myspace who steals an image or article.

If it weren’t for LinkedIn, I don’t know if I ever would have found that another paralegal plagiarised my website. I was reading her LinkedIn summary and the words sounded very familiar — I realized they were taken from my website. Then I went to her website and found that she took a huge amount of wording from my Home Page and also from my Rates Page. I immediately sent her a cease and desist letter (via e-mail and certified mail) and fortunately the next day she removed the wording. I then did a search of her website on copyscape.com and found that she also stole wording from three others. I contacted them and let them know what I found. I now check copyscape.com on a regular basis.
