Computer graphics artist says Captiol Records video rips off his work without permission:
- The video, Beautiful Goodbye, by Jennifer Hanson, which can be found on the Capitol Records site, has, it is alleged, made use of author Ryan Bliss’ artwork without acknowledgement as a background to the video.
Bliss, whose web site is Digital Blasphemy, has complained on his own forum about what he alleges is a rip of his work.
Ryan Bliss says on his forum: “My work has been on the web for six years now (seven if you count the images I posted on AOL back in 1996). As far as people using my work without my permission, I thought I had seen it all. I guess I was wrong. Case in point: someone tipped me off that my “Tropic of Capricorn” image was being used in a country music video. I couldn’t believe it until I saw it for myself. [The Inquirer]
